"Its alive, its alive, I tell you!"

Finally got my hacking of portage.py and ebuild.sh done.  I added a 
new variable to /etc/make.conf DISTDIRS which contains directories to 
look for distfiles in.  This allows people to burn their distfiles on 
a CD.

/etc/make.conf sample (I have 2 cdroms):
DISTDIRS="/mnt/cdrw /mnt/cdr"

% diff ebuild.sh ebuild.sh-2.0.48  | wc -l
     64
% diff portage.py portage.py-2.0.48 | wc -l
    186

A lot of the portage.py diff is having to move stuff around...create 
new routines to make it easier...

Anyway, it works for simple stuff:
1. -f and -fp
2. Installing when files are in different directories.

Problems are when DISTDIR is hard-coded into the ebuild such with 
mutt-1.4.1-r1.ebuild

patch -d ${S} -p1 < ${DISTDIR}/patch-1.4.0.cd.edit_threads.9.5 || die

Oh well, back to hacking...at least now I can emerge stuff again.
