Well, we are starting off with no concept of package.provided, i.e.
we won't be lying to portage about too much like we have in the past,
so there will be no hard dependency on Xcode.

I was thinking either they just open a shell and `source ${PREFIX}/
etc/profile` or they can set their default shell to ${PREFIX}/bin/
{bash,csh,zsh,whatever} which will already have a sane env with the
prefixed paths.

Thats the idea ;) Keep in mind, binary packages are a must, so there
will be a default prefix that has to be used for both the stage
tarballs and the binpkgs. It will still be possible for a user to
bootstrap to a custom prefix, but I think that we shouldn't really
support anything other than the default.

Amen.

Yeah, something written in python would seem logical....
