+# Not so simple case: Gentoo uses *two* wrappers around install script
+# to deal with extended attributes:
+#  - /usr/lib/portage/python*/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install
+#    This sets __PORTAGE_HELPER_PATH (see the check above) and
+#    invokes either C- or Python-based wrapper (they do the same
+#    thing anyway). E.g., let it be /usr/bin/install-xattrs...
+#  - /usr/bin/install-xattrs
+#    This now analyzes $PATH and invokes 'install' in the first directory
+#    in $PATH where it is found, but not the __PORTAGE_HELPER_PATH
+# This scheme breaks if we interject another install wrapper, resulting
+# in a fork bomb. Hence, if we detected a loop, we need to remove our
+# own directory from $PATH and try again. Ironically, the very code below
+# based on that portage helper.
