I've just made the promised donation, although since I'm asking for a
matching donation from work it'll probably be slow arriving. But it'll
arrive.

We figured out the hurdles to getting the build to work in theory. That
said, a number of packages clearly ignore LOCALBASE being set to something
other than /usr/local, and will need bugs filed, so I wasn't able to
actually get a usable set of packages built.

Remaining action:

1. I'll document what I had to do for this to work, which includes one
modification to Poudriere itself to get working pathing in the build jail.

2. I need to at least file bugs for broken packages, but ideally devise
patches to submit along with the bugs.

Thanks, everyone who weighed in.
