Hi,
ok another problem for Gentoo/FreeBSD project :P
Currently there are a few places where, to fix permissions of files, the 
ebuilds does a chown -R root:root ${D} or something similar.
Unfortunately such a command is invalid on G/FBSD because there's no root 
group, instead wheel group has GID=0.

So I was wondering for a solution for this problem: we have a $USERLAND 
variable which can be used to select the way the chown must be done, if chown 
root:root or chown root:wheel; I think both BSD and Darwin userland prefers 
root:wheel above root:root, so maybe adding a function in eutils which fixes 
the permissions based on the current $USERLAND value is enough...

Comments?
