emerge is the high level command normally used by users to manage
packages. ebuild is only used for installing and removing packages,
emerge does a lot more besides, and is a more low level command.
ebuild.sh is for use by portage, bit by users.

That is one of its main uses, it can also be used to hack the ebuild
process.
