While we are at it, we could add keywords for (global) regions, so
that I can set portage to look for a European mirror and portage will
avoid contacting a distant mirror in Asia or America.
It's probably worth it in the long run to do a little more here than
have users simply express priorities for specific mirrors.
We could probably set up the path structure like this:
profiles/thirdpartymirrors/gnu/Europe
and add a blacklist/whitelist/priority structure
in /etc/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors, maybe?
Portage might even use the local system's timezone to determine what
mirror set to use.
