something.

The proper way to do this:  
- dump thirdpartymirrors  
- add code that parses all environment vars ending in _MIRRORS as specifying  
  a list of mirrors for the first part  
  (FOO_MIRRORS="http://foo.be/ http://foo.com/")  
  This is just like what happens for GENTOO, and you can provide defaults in  
  the make.globals file and the user can tune them in make.conf  
- use it for the mirror:// uris.  
 
Is that what you had in mind? Being able to specify multiple mirror sites for 
the same file?

possibly also a way to specify mirrors of the whole distfiles directory...

maybe when GENTOO_MIRRORS fails you start parsing the
/usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors under the Gentoo section
