  it will, over time.  :-)

  I have to admit though, sometimes I'd give an arm and a leg for not
  just a portage-rescue, but also rescues for python and gcc.  you
  don't get far in Gentoo when python or gcc are dead.

  the idea would be to produce a package containing portage, python,
  gcc that would install gcc, python and portage by itself when
  invoked.  I'm not sure how much time you'd save from bootstrapping,
  but you'd be able to rescue your basic system fairly easy.

  besides, it should be fully doable to automatically build packages
  that do this?  if there is real interest, maybe I'll have a go at it
  myself.
