Portage keeps certain file which help on this such as=20
/var/db/pkg/<cat>/<name>/CFLAGS and USE.  Maybe they could be named on th=
e=20
ftp server to

=09<name>.specification
=09<name>.tar.gz

So that emerge download the .specification, validate the similarity and t=
hen=20
propose or take it from the distribution system.  Basically the same as=20
ccache ;-)=20

- --=20
