Naah. Not really. The hard part is figuring out how to correctly change
all shell scripts that start with #!/bin/sh to use the portage-provided
sh instead, all perl scripts that start with #!/usr/bin/perl or
#!/usr/bin/env perl to use the portage-provided perl instead, how to fix
all autotools checks which look in /usr/lib first and so on. From an
ebuild perspective, which is where most of the work will be, asking
portage just where it *should* look is really just a sidenote that needs
to be documented somewhere.
