Ahem...  It's offtopic, but it's a pain.

We have daily snapshots here:
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/snapshots/portage-alt-prefix-latest.tar.bz2
I believed anon access was set up, but might as well not be (another
reason for me to make a sync repo that does allow it).
The prefixed portage sources might be a little out of date, and I plan
to make a new snapshot available soon (am currently in the process of
building on my Dual Athlon64/Fedora Core, the bootstrap script at least
seems to work like a charm)

Does above help?  I plan to poll gentoo's infra people pretty soon to at
least ask if they mind replicating the whole life portage tree in SVN so
we can do diffing on branches.  (If not, I will _have_ to do it myself.)
