1 Hi,
2 You know i am totaly supporting prefix but i have one point.
3 Why on earth portage simply does not detect the prefix enviroment is being run
4 and then INTERNALY switch D->ED and other variables. It would be much easier
5 that way to migrate all stuff in portage instead of doing this || shebang.
6 Mostly when it is done by eclasses its quite cool, but when you get into
7 changing lots of ebuilds its quite hard for maintaining.

9 Even the multilib overlay guys rather modify the portage than changing a load
10 of ebuilds.

12 Just my 2 cents.

14 Tomas
