| ICANINSTALLTO was the best idea presented, but that implies it would |
| 16 |
| be a list of known working prefixes, which seems unrealistic. Maybe |
| 17 |
| it would be better to have portage error check that globally at the |
| 18 |
| load_config stage against a list of known stupid prefixes, |
| 19 |
| stupidprefixes=["/usr","/","/bin"] etc. etc. |

The plan was to have ICANINSTALLTO="root home prefixed" or somesuch. |

The name isn't particularly clear on that... |
