Chris,

   The work you mention for catalyst has been something I've been very
interested in leveraging for a while now (read years). If you want any
contribution help, I'ld be interested in helping out.

   On a side note, I've been using a locally mounted squashfs overlayed with
a bare writable fs (JFS in this case, but it could be any) via aufs to track
my portage trees for a while. It lets me compress portage from 600+ mb down
to about 50 mb AND speeds up portage access by an order of magnitude. This
might be an interesting method to distribute/deploy the tree or even simply
track it within catalyst as catalyst builds the updates. Let me know if this
might be of interest to you.

John
