NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(  not more rebasing  I spent
several days just tracking down and fixing rebase errors.  Fix a few,
that in turn caused more errors...

You and I both know that the code is likely to be broken at times while
doing many of the code changes needed to fix it.  The original code was
horrible, not all of it, but...   The time for polish is later when the
majority of the changes are done.  I want to move forward, not churn in
circles, rebasing, fixing conflicts, forever waiting for a commit to be
reviewed & merged.  One of the big reasons I started on catalyst was to
remove the hardcoded paths everywhere that was preventing the tree
migration away from /usr/portage.  That has been largely accomplished,
although not really tested.

The reason I wanted to do more testing, is so far I've only done
snapshot, stage1 thru 3.  I've done the major restructure of the python
layout.  I want to get everything working, not 100% bug free, before
moving on.  That will make it easier to figure out where something got
broken while doing the changes.  Call it a midterm exam ;) to see where
we stand.

So I wouldn't mind working in a branch for now, somewhere we can all
participate in pushing commits to in order to achieve our end goal.
Then later when it's mostly done, we can look to moving it to master.
Finish debugging and polishing it.
