mkg: a virtual build tool for Gentoo GNU/Linux

mkg arose from a simple practical need: to speed up my Gentoo recovery process when my platform ended up in tatters after too much tinkering with it. So here is a tool that meets this need, at least for core cases and without any claim to generality, completeness or achievement: making mistakes is better than faking perfection.

The building process is encapsulated using scripted VirtualBox machines to build the platform, clone it to block device and transform it into a CloneZilla bootable ISO.

I hope this tool will contribute to democratizing a very nice distribution by smoothing out some rough edges for newcomers.
