only other idea i'd consider is having portage scan $D before each merge 
looking for files owned by group portage ?  or perhaps making an eutils func 
for people to invoke ...

but this is probably just as much cruft as the get_root_group() idea ... i 
imagine if someone comes up with a reason down the road why using gid 0 is a 
bad idea, they'll let us know and we can review this again
