Actually to those here who think this is "too complex" I would like to
point that this does 
 a: follow a specified standard
 b: provide the necessary flexibility and modularity 
 c: integrate with small changes to our ebuildtree.


consider that we don't have to provide massive fileupdates, global lists
coherent with our tree, but each capable and installed package requires
a small change that goes back and forwards with versions without
overhead for versionbumps.
