I've talked to the funtoo devs a few times about stealing their profile
idea.  A few things need to be done to make this happen, mainly eselect,
catalyst, and repoman support.  I can do the eselect and catalyst
changes myself, however, I'll require some help for the repoman support
most likely.  I'll prototype this locally, see what I can make work, and
then see about making it usable for others to test.
