everything about portage is very specific and should be separated, I
would like to see an addition of one root directory "gentoo" where
${PKGMANAGER} keep all it's stuff.
Some of these are already moveable with ${*DIR} variables in
make.conf, others are not
20K /gentoo/tmp
20K /gentoo/overlays
639M /gentoo/portage
3.1G /gentoo/distfiles
4.1M /gentoo/var/log
36K /gentoo/var/lib/portage
43M /gentoo/var/db/pkg
940K /gentoo/var/cache/edb
2.7M /gentoo/packages
