hello mavetju,
this is for sure an interessting aproach. though i must say i don't
really like this portbuild user stuff. how about doing it the NetBSD
way? let it extract,patch,configure and build as user and for
install/deinstall purposes you ${SU_CMD} to root. if people still insist
on building their ports as root, let them...

cheers
