Neil's suggestion of sets sounds like what you want here. Unfortunately
it only works smoothly on first emerge (later on you have to dig
through dep graphs to find the full dep list):
First run emerge -p to find all the packages that will be pulled in,
and add the whole lot to a set with a clear name that indicates it's
function. Then emerge that set. As you discover further deps you can
manually add them to the set
It's quite a lot of extra work and you have to remember to do it, but
it has the benefit of being somewhat self-documenting, at least in
terms of having a record of what set pulled a package in initially.
Requires time travel, not a solution!
