I think Jason and I talked about this somewhat a while back. It was 
actually Fredrik Arnerup that did most of the work with portagelib (I 
originally used file system calls to get portage info, which is bad bad 
bad!). I'm not sure he's on this list so you may want to mail him.

And just so everyone knows, I have moved away from Gentoo and towards 
debian-based distributions because of my current situation. I am sorry, 
but life has to move on, and I need to spend more time on my studies 
now. Debian is just faster and easier for me. I will try and 
participate as well as I can, though, and try to stay active on the 
various mailing lists and help out if I can.

I need to go now, but expect another email from me about this stuff 
after I get a chance to read it. I think the interfacing with portage 
can be made MUCH better for third party application developers.
