+==== Implement fakeroot functionality for destroot phase ==== #fakeroot
+
+Currently MacPorts uses root privileges in the destroot phase. That should be replaced by a system that runs as the macports user, but intercepts all operations that would require root privileges (chown/chmod/etc.) and record the resulting permissions in a database.
+
+The existing functionality of trace mode in darwintracelib1.0 could be leveraged for this task.
