I don't unterstand what do you mean by that...

Why ? it's just doing something the user will normally do....

My idea was to integrate this with emerge, and this seemed something
not very easy. But I totally agree that it's very easy (too for the SoC)
to make an external tool to do that. So, since you think that emerge is
not a place for that, I'll search for a new idea for the SoC and try to
make this simple tool next week ;)
