Why the hell didn't we think of this before!? :o |

The mirror-dist script *cannot* rename the upstream files for storage, |
| 9 |
since emerge will be looking for the *original* filename on the gentoo |
| 10 |
mirror. And if we keep them the same, we'll have collisions on the |
| 11 |
mirror, which is more probable (and severe) than a collision on a |
| 12 |
user's local DISTDIR. |

The easiest solution I can think of is for emerge to give special |
| 15 |
consideration to the mirrors in GENTOO_MIRRORS, and look for the |
| 16 |
renamed file there instead of the original ones. |
