Oh... also, there's a wide variety of location specific CPAN mirrors
available that are location-specific.
Specifying them in GENTOO_MIRRORS will simply mess up portage as they'll
tell portage to try them for gentoo packages too, which will mean a lot of
waiting while gentoo erroneously tries to fetch files from servers that
will never have them.
So having a location-specific subkey for each class of mirrors, and having
a priority within each class of mirrors, so that users can just specify
their location and the fetch system uses an appropriate mirror for each
mirror class, that'd be great.
