[sabayon] Personalized profiles using environment variables

[Anders Wallenquist <aw kreawit se>]

Is it possible to create Sabayon-profiles that uses environment variables to personalize the profile?

This is what I want:

Default or mandatory gconf-profile where $USER and $USERNAME are fetched
from the users environment (gconftool-2 -g /apps/evolution/mail/accounts): 

[<?xml version="1.0"?>
<account name="$(USER)@example.com">
<identity>
    <name>$(USERNAME)</name>
    <addr-spec>$(USER)@example.com</addr-spec>
</identity>
<source>
  <url>imap://$(USER)%
40example com imap example com/;;use_ssl=when-possible
 </url>
</source>
<transport save-passwd="true">
	<url>smtp://$(USER)%40smtp.example.com;;use_ssl=when-possible</url>
</transport>

</account>
,
]

Profiles stored in /etc/gconf does not use environment variables as I
userstand, there has to be a layer that do the personalization.

a) Are sabayon the tool for this?
b) Please point me to some example profiles where Gnome are personalized
using the users environment.
