Please describe the problem:
The distro.py script doesn't have an implementation of packageDb for gentoo users.

Since emerge/portage is python based it shouldn't be too hard to cook up a patch
to get the version number of a currently installed application.  I'll look into it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install dogtail on gentoo and try to run one of example scripts

Actual results:
Stacktrace that says "Gentoo is not supported. Send patches to bugzilla"

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes
