If they're moving out of portdir, it makes sense to mount them by
default.  I'm fine with that.  And I'm looking forward to ConfigParser
spec files with sections like:

  [mounts]
  icecream = no
  ubuntu_shm = yes

  [mount source]
  portdir = /home/wking/src/portage
  port_logdir = /home/wking/src/portage-logs
  ubuntu_shm = /run/shm

  [mount targets]
  ubuntu_shm = /run/shm

And to chaining spec files so that I can share basic stuff like this
between all my stages…  Hopefully soon :).

Cheers,
Trevor
