Attached is a collection of enhancements I'm using in my
local catalyst
installation. In particular:

 - Uses the make.conf parser from portage_utils. This
handles source
directives, multi-line constants, and other goodness the
catalyst one
doesn't.
 - Adds a new directive, "extra_mounts", allows
user-specified bind
mount points. If for some reason an advanced user who's
doing funky
things wants extra bind mounts into the build region, this
permits it.
 - Allow absolute profile paths. Necessary for folks using
custom
profiles not within /usr/portage/profiles. (In my case, that
profile is
coming off a network filesystem for which a bind mount is
set up via the
extra_mounts directive).

If 'yall want me to split patch this out into multiple
pieces, I'd be
glad to do so.

Please do.  The things you've added all seem fine and would
likely all
be included, but I much prefer a "one patch per
change" approach so we
can easily back them out, if necessary.
