 I don't think this is a good idea. Your Portfiles might be writable for
 your user depending on your configuration and tampering with the Portfiles
 would allow arbitrary commands to be run as root without password prompt,
 causing privilege escalation.

 Jeremy: Isn't there a way around this problem? Can root's shell be
 changed?
