There are at least two ebuilds in portage that uses cp --parente . It wasn't 
being a problem if it wasn't used.

elib can be approved, but we're working on Gentoo/*BSD (and Gentoo/OSX) now, 
not 4 years from now (ok that was an exageration, but simplify what the 
problem is: it doesn't seem probable that a newer portage goes out working 
and ebuilds start using the new features in a little time.

Remember that we had a bit of opposition also to have gcc using USE_EXPAND-ed 
variables, I can't figure what would happen also if tomorrow we find a 
portage with elib working :/
