State said problem for the general community.  Guessing you're 
referencing the issue/request that being able to manage home, and 
'global' installations?

I'd still posit that the issue of installing to a user's home when 
portage's base prefix is /usr/local (fex) is a seperate issue.  What 
you were requesting for vim plugins goes beyond haubi's initial 
goals...


So yeah, restate the issues in the ml so people can weigh in, 
alternative approachs/solutions, etc.
