exg, thanks for looking into this.  One thing I can answer:

  Well, eprefix() was not yet present in 2.1.14, but may be already
  somewhere in svn (if it exists somewhere).
  To get this yet trivial implementation work, [10-portageq-root.patch] is
  required.
 
 What is a constant function that always returns the value of EPREFIX if
 the input pkg is in the vdb useful for?

It's simply a preparation for multi-prefix support, e.g.
eprefix myapplication
that would allow to have a --with-mylib=$(eprefix sys-libs/mylib) in
your configure or something.
At least that was the cool idea we once had, iirc.

 Hi,
 
 after some time using portage-prefix-2.1.14 with some patches now, its
 time for me to post these (partially) very useful patches...
 
 Hopefully they will make it at least to the list at once...

Wow.  Thanks Michael!

Time is not my best friend at the moment, but I hope these patches can
give a new impulse to the prefix portage development!
