5hard to list everything mind you, but here is changes re: behaviour

7* proper env saving/reloading.  Ebuild is sourced once, and ran from the env.
8* DISTDIR has indirection now. points at a directory, that is symlinks
9  to the files. why? This prevents builds from lieing about their
10  sources (less bugs)
11* PORTAGE_TMPDIR is no longer in the ebuild env
12* (PORTAGE_|)BUILDDIR is no longer in the ebuild env
13* BUILDPREFIX is no longer in the ebuild env
14* AA is no longer in the ebuild env
15* inherit is an error in phases except for setup, prerm, and postrm.
16  pre/post rm are allowed only to deal with broken envs. Running
17  config with a broken env isn't allowed, cause config won't work;
18  installing with a broken env, not allowed cause preinst/postinst
19  won't be executed.
20* binpkg building now gets the unmodified contents- thus when merging the
21  binpkg, all files are there unmodified.
