proj/gentoo: Initial commit

This commit represents a new era for Gentoo:
Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS.

This commit is the start of the NEW history.
Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point.

Creation process:
1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot
2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files
3. Transform all Manifests to thin
4. Remove empty Manifests
5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$
5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags.

+		Compilers for high level languages generate code that follow certain
+		conventions. These conventions are necessary, in part, for separate
+		compilation to work. One such convention is the "calling
+		convention". The "calling convention" is essentially a set of
+		assumptions made by the compiler about where function arguments will
+		be found on entry to a function. A "calling convention" also specifies
+		where the return value for a function is found.
+
+		Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
+		are to be passed to a function. For instance, an interpreter may be
+		told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call
+		a given function. Libffi can be used in such programs to provide a
+		bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
+
+		The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming
+		interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
+		call any function specified by a call interface description at run
+		time.
+
+		Ffi stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function
+		interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code
+		written in one language to call code written in another language. The
+		libffi library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent
+		layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must
+		exist above libffi that handles type conversions for values passed
+		between the two languages.
