Are we sure that the current working directory is an entirely safe place
to create this symlink? A simple fix would be to use
tempfile.TemporaryDirectory to create a temporary directory to hold the
symlink. Or, we could change ekeyword to assume that an argument is an
ebuild if os.path.isfile(arg) succeeds.
