I think the minimum we can do right now is:
having the ebuilds work in a totally independant way , for example using
a directory exclusivly.
and/or why not "not" deleting the source tree, so other pakages can use
the already compiled object files ...
this is totally "doable" as the strong point of emerge is the fact that
it doesnt use the shared database stuff ...

thank you guys again for this giant work .
