Hi everyone,

Currently, portage only allows single inheritance in profiles, but it's easy to 
enable multiple inheritance.  In order to do this, we only need to unconstrain 
the number of parents allowed in the parent file (only 1 is currently allowed). 
 When a parent file contains multiple parents, parents listed later if the file 
will have the ability to override those listed earlier in the file.

Multiple inheritance seems like it would add useful flexibility to the profile 
structure.  Should we remove the single inheritance constraint and allow 
multiple inheritance?

Zac
