I've gotten good feedback from quite a few people, thank you :)

I've made it more clear that it's a compile verification instead of a merge
verification (for FEATURES="maketest").

I've also added:
- Improved handling of injected packages (through package.provided)
- Massive speedups
- Improved support for embedded systems (FEATURES="autoconfig")

The article is still available online at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/portage.html

Thanks for the feedback so-far!

Wkr,
