8 Naah. Not really. The hard part is figuring out how to correctly change
9 all shell scripts that start with #!/bin/sh to use the portage-provided
10 sh instead, all perl scripts that start with #!/usr/bin/perl or
11 #!/usr/bin/env perl to use the portage-provided perl instead, how to fix
12 all autotools checks which look in /usr/lib first and so on. From an
13 ebuild perspective, which is where most of the work will be, asking
14 portage just where it *should* look is really just a sidenote that needs
15 to be documented somewhere.
