You happen to hit another Larry the cow fans ("If it moves, compile it!"). 
Please CC me on the relevant BZ in Gentoo's bugz.

Sounds good, you need to differentiate between 2 setups;
1. Development setup, which is mostly what we have now.
2. Packaged setup. Well in Gentoo it's not that different since it will compile
from sources. That said, since the GWT compiler is a memory hog we'll have to introduce
some USE flags to keep it working even for GECO only (and then allow other
browsers).

Anyway I recommend starting with (1), and as we progress move to (2).
