There are 2 programs reading emerge log files and displaying them in
an aesy format: elogv (ncurses) and elogviwer (X).

It is necessary to have the variables PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES and
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM set properly for get these program to work, for
example:

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"
