Reason for this IMHO is for Portage developers to be able to tell
portage where it /should/ look for its stuff by simply setting
PYTHONPATH.  If we ignore this var, Portage no longer would "listen" to
you.

However, I don't ever use it, so I don't care.  I could apply a patch
such that it will always use the modules it was configured to do, but
I'm almost certain "upstream" won't merge that.
