If there is a different place for requirement discussion of Gentoo specific GSoC projects, please tell, and sorry for bothering here then.

What I'm after: We are developing multiple source projects with multiple release branches on the same host here. These projects do have some script to set up the project specific environment. One os-user is working on multiple projects or branches, entering a project's environment by sourcing its environment script. Naturally, these projects do have different requirements to - for example - the java-vm version. The project admin needs to select the java-vm on a per-project basis, and does want to use the system-vm as fallback, never wants to use the user-vm. With current eselect (and java-config-2), this would be something like setting $HOME on the per-project basis - or not using java-config at all. Would it make sense to explicitly set the system-vm (whatever version it is or will be changed to), while leaving it unset would fall back to the user-vm? More toughts?
