Hi,
portage and entropy backends ported to the 0.8.x API.
I will try to introduce the parallelization support in the next weeks.
But don't get your hopes up :) Portage should be a no-brainer since it
supports multiprocessing (and I use a python based spawned backend),
however, Entropy is multithreaded (when Python sqlite3 doesn't go
crazy because, in spite of what they say, cursors are not
thread/transaction safe) but it currently use a "spawned" backend
executable...

Now, it would be nice if you could make a release :P But I can wait...
