Hola all. robbat2 made the suggestion, and after a bit of playing I think it's best- in short, to support multiple DISTDIR's, we need either intelligent querying of portage from bash side as to a files true location, or a directory full of symlinks pointing at the ebuild's stated files.
Latter is easiest imo, and a bit cleaner for a dev to be able to look at it and see why things are breaking; upshot, adding this indirection allows portage (with sane fetcher(s)) to do N DISTDIR, and it also causes any ebuild that has unstated SRC_URI deps to bail. The forced bail pretty much makes it so that an ebuild dev can't easily screw up, they hit the unpack failure rather then a commit and a user hitting it. If you've got issues with it, give a yell; just added this in the rewrite. ~harring
