I've heard two positive comments on IRC and nothing else, so I'm 
proceeding with this. I'll be adding these to the existing 
/usr/portage/eclass/tests/, adding shunit2 to the tree, and beginning 
some work looking into unit tests for portage's bash code.

Probably some for app-shells/bash would also be useful, since we seem to 
pretty consistently run into weird breakage on new versions.

Thanks,
Donnie
