Ok, say we use ICANINSTALLTO (name!). Then if we have "prefix" as the
destination, there's no problem, because we know that all our deps are
installed in ${PREFIX} as well. However, if we're installing to "home",
we need to know where our deps are -- for "home" installs I'm presuming
we don't force a full dep tree in "home" (unlike for "prefix"). This
*could* still be done with ${PREFIX} I guess? Or to avoid confusing
things, ${DEPS_PREFIX}? Not really sure...
As for the new metadata variable, I think it should be a complement to RESTRICT (not limited to prefix). As the name for this var I suggest SUPPORTS, so for an ebuild that can install into /usr, $PREFIX and $HOME it would look like:
SUPPORTS="prefix prefix-home" (as /usr is implicit)
