You read my mind!
I was just thinking "i'd like to have a script that ...."
and you come out with this. great.

unreadable magic :-)
How would be to make it a bit shorter and more configurable in one shot ?=
:
-PORTDIR=3D/usr/portage
-DISTDIR=3D$PORTDIR/distfiles
-CACHEDIR=3D$PORTDIR/metadata/cache
-PKGDBDIR=3D/var/db/pkg

(or: for i in /etc/make.{globals,conf} do . $i;done )
