Hi matt!

Could you perhaps also do the
"make DESTDIR=${D} install" -> "make DESTDIR=${EDEST} install"
trick in your script? That would make it probably perfect for a lot
ebuilds...

I like the idea!

Sure let me clean up a few issues, and add this functionality, then
I'll put it out.

Here's an attempt at public consumption....

There's two files, to run them one will need to export a variable
containing the PREFIX (we are using STARGATE_HOME) (see the 9th line
of addeapi.py). Also the emegeparts.py file is the dependency
generation stuff. I add portage to sys.path at the top and am
hardcoding that value...(so one will need to update that).

Now with both files in the same directory, call something like:
python addeapi.py -e eclipse-core
which will take the ebuild for eclipse-core from PORTDIR and copy it
into an overlay. It will add EAPI="prefix", update EDEST and digest
it.

Send feedback comments my way.

On that note, we have quite a few java components added to prefix:
ant commons-el jakarta-regexp saxpath
ant-core commons-fileupload java-config servletapi
ant-tasks commons-httpclient javacup struts
antlr commons-lang jaxen struts-legacy
avalon-logkit commons-launcher jdepend sun-jaf-bin
bcel commons-logging jdom sun-jdk
bsf commons-modeler jsch sun-jmx
bsh commons-net junit xalan
commons-beanutils commons-pool jython xerces
commons-collections commons-validator jzlib xjavac
commons-daemon dom4j libreadline-java xml-commons
commons-dbcp gnu-crypto log4j xml-commons-external
commons-digester jakarta-oro rhino xml-commons-resolver

Where can we put these?
