4 interdomain would be how ciaran's HOME request would be pulled off;
5 user's 'domain', configuration settings + prefix offset would try to
6 satisfy deps from the global domain '/'. When it can't, would resort
7 to installing to the user's domain, assuming the ebuild is capable of
8 it.

18 Haubi's is what I'd recommend.
19 Rewrite isn't anywhere near that sort of timeline.

21 I'd also note realistically pulling it off within 10 days might be
22 tricky, due to the fact it requires ebuild modifications plus dusting
23 off and updating haubi's patch, along with buttload of testing.

25 Or I'm just slow at implementing stuff. :)
