Emerge: WIP Unix support (unix3 branch)

[Kevin Funk]

Heya,

a few people might have noticed a few odd-looking commits in Emerge recently. 
In fact, Hannah has been working on adding Unix support to Emerge! [1]

That means, you can run Emerge on either Linux or OS X now, too!

This is all very much work in progress so far, but we already got Kate to 
build & run under OS X, using Emerge, it worked out pretty well for us. I've 
mentioned the Linux & OS X ports on [1], since then a few people approached me 
for more information.

Here it is.

# Try it out

In order to try it out:

$ mkdir kderoot
$ cd kderoot
$ git clone git://anongit.kde.org/emerge
$ cd emerge
$ git checkout unix3

$ mkdir ../etc
$ cp kdesettings ../etc/kdesettings.ini
$ vi ../etc/kdesettings.ini

Add the following to the [Portage] section:

Ignores = dev-util/.*;win32libs/(?!(libraw)).*;binary/.*;qt-libs/
phonon;kdesupport/kdewin

Start to build:

$ emerge qt5

# Road map for Unix support

Here's our road map so far, but keep in mind this is just a 'side project' 
right now:

- Wait for basic Windows CI on build.kde.org
- Stabilize Unix support branch (unix3)
- Then merge the unix3 branch into master

Hope that helps those guys trying out Emerge on other platforms than Windows.

Cheers,
Kevin
