webapp-config was originally designed as a standalone, distribution
independent, multi-os tool (Windows support being a priority) that would
operate largely independently of the package manager. It just happened
to have been developed on Gentoo first. In the early days it would get
up to all kinds of crazy stuff like trying to call 'emerge -C' from
within pkg_postinst of an ebuild...
Unfortunately, in those days, bypassing Portage was considered easier
than extending it.
