I've been in this position more than once, and had to go through the
bootcd+binaries (thanks to http://dev.gentoo.org/~avenj/bins/)
restore. Argh. I've often thought that atomic updates and rollback
within portage would be useful - maybe it could just be done as a
layer over subversion for Gentoo updated binary packages. Or maybe
rebuilding from source is preferable. Anyway, it would be very useful
to be able to revert to a known good state with a single command.
