[gentoo-dev] deprecating /etc/make.profile

[Simon Stelling]

Hi all,

As per bug 148388 [1] comment 1, I'd like to discuss the deprecation of 
/etc/make.profile and the use of a PORTAGE_PROFILE variable instead. 
Reason for this change aside from consistency with all other portage 
settings is the annoyance of re-adjusting the /etc/make.profile link 
before and after testing a profile change in an overlay/development repo.

Before the change to portage is finally made, a few things will have to 
be done:

* Adjust handbook
* Adjust the eselect plugin
* (Anything I'm missing?)

If you don't like this idea, please speak up.
