a while ago i thought about trying to generate an xml representation
of the portage "database"
i thought it would be cool to have it as xml cause then we could use
it for various purposes it would include the entire portage tree and
the database with extra bits to say wether a package was installed and
when it was installed its only an idea right now but i dont think it
would be too tricky to do
i would write it in perl but thats what i am good at
and perl has some nifty XML modules
anyone else interested in this ??
