frontend needed to make Gentoo/embedded a viability

so i was tooling along the road thinking about what it would take for people 
to sit down and use Gentoo/embedded for the target ... currently we have misc 
ways of doing this by hand (install mask/etc...), but it tends to be error 
prone and it requires the end user to know more than they should about the 
portage environment

what would help here is a frontend ... something like uClinux or Open Embedded 
where a menu system allows the user to select the packages to install into 
the target image and when they're done, they simply type 'make' ... wait a 
bit and they're left with images that they can take and flash onto the target 
board

so really, a friendly frontend for the user to select the characteristics of 
the system, and then a backend to take that config and use emerge to build 
everything and generate an image ... would make it easy to create stock board 
descriptions too ...

what do you guys think ?  stupid idea ?  good idea waiting for a champion ?
