[gentoo-portage-dev] PATCH: Bumping portage to top of dependancy list (bug 48531)

[Zac Medico]

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48531

This simple patch automatically bumps portage to the top of the merge list.  
I've always wanted this feature and it is a dependency of bug 108262.  Feedback 
please. :)

No good. ;)

What if portage's dependencies aren't satisfied? Something like the below 
(possibly combined with the pprovided stuff) would be better...

 Hmm, how would that work with virtual/portage != sys-apps/portage?
 (rhetoric question)

That's where the something like comes into it. What do you expect for less 
than one minute's work? (rhetoric question)
