I'm working on my own portage_ng version. It includes a c++ parser that 
replaces the bash cruft, is a lot faster, and parses most existing ebuilds. 
(compilation etc. still happens in bash) (It does not allow at all dynamic 
behaviour on the toplevel, but it will include a much more flexible 
dependency structure. On top of that the parser itself does not (yet at 
least) perform the variable substitution, so the variables are still 
available for reading. Once I get to that point I will also include some kind 
of dynamic slot/ multislot feature based on some conditions. It will 
certainly allow multiple installation of the same version of the same package 
(think crosscompiling, php for apache1 and apache2) given that they have 
different MULTISLOT values
