+  EAPI awareness, and support for flat_hash metadata/cache.
+  Later autodetects if the rsync cache is flat_hash, or flat_list, 
+  and interprets accordingly.
+  
+  Flat_hash is intended to make it such that rsync cache breakages 
+  for older portage versions no longer occur; the container format 
+  can hold pretty much anything across EAPI versions.
+  Additionally... EAPI is intended such that additions to the ebuild 
+  env/helpers don't puke if you're running to old of a portage version; 
+  it allows us to 'version' the ebuild env/funcs, and do masking dependant
+  on that versioning.
