Oh I don't know. Imagine how cool it would be for starting a new port. |

1) Install PM |

2) Wang on a portage tree |

3) emerge ready to go |

Obviously it's not quite that simple as portage requires python and |
| 13 |
pkgcore require python, paludis requires tr1-whatever libs - but that's |
| 14 |
the restriction of the PM used. Maybe one day Gentoo will have a PM that |
| 15 |
doesn't require any of that and is just written in C and sh, using POSIX |
| 16 |
libc where it can. |
