* portage: drop dependency on gentoolkit (provides equery)

Portage itself is available. We can use that instead of calling a
shell command.

* portage: add knob for portage's --with-bdeps option
Also, this option does not accept "True" like other options. Instead,
it only uses 'y' and 'n', so parse booleans properly into these chars.
