All:

Since this thread was mentioned today in the Gentoo Weekly News, There
is definitely a demand for this type of script.  Anyhow I'm now working
on 0.2 based upon the feedback that I have received.  

Besides adding a couple of new options, I'm also looking at speeding up
the script where possible.  One of the things that I brought over from
revdep-rebuild was the calling of emerge to order the packages.  This
has the result of the script using the emerge three times.  Two times to
determine the order in which the packages should be recompiled and the
third time to actually recompile the packages.

The more that I look at this, the more that I think that it is
unnecessary work for what I am trying to do.  Can anyone think of why I
should care or not care about the order that I pass packages to emerge
when recompiling existing packages that contain kernel modules?  I can't
think of any, but I'm also not knowledgeable of the portage internals
yet.

Regards,
Paul
