[gentoo-soc] ventoo patches

[Christopher Harvey]

I noticed on the google application form we had to use source control tools 
and create a patch.

Here is my patch. 
this patch applies to the submitted code here:
http://google-summer-of-code-2007-
gentoo.googlecode.com/files/LuisFrancisco_Araujo.tar.gz

This patch prevents the line
import from data *
from polluting the global namespace with variables like 'name', 'logo' and 
'icon'. Now the variables are referred to as data.name, data.logo and 
data.icon. Those changes have been made as well. I don't like installing 
development code on my system outside of package management, so I also added a 
command line argument to look for an optional config file that isn't 
/etc/ventoo.conf. This patch, along with local ventoo config file changes and 
other hardcoded file path changes let me start ventoo successfully from a 
local directory. There were still some other "file not found errors" when 
trying to use specific modules, however the purpose of this post is simply to 
comply with the application procedure and prove that I understand the basic 
tools for working with this project, not fix the whole thing to run perfectly 
without a system install.
