for noob ones), and simplify its handling.
I think it is not spam, since it could help others (I hope so).

David.
It's far too simplistic. It doesn't take account of dependencies that must
also be masked/unmasked/whatever and will cause obscure error messages that
will confuse the user more than simply using portage.
HAHAHA! Yeah, that's why I wrote the poorly received "bastard"
Good luck with it. I think it kicks ass, and totally ignores
everything. I use this everywhere.
e.g.
bastard =gnome-2.18"*"
bastard =nginx-0.7"*"
bastard =postgresql-server-8.3"*"
