Sorry for the late update, but it wasn't until today that I've started
worrying by all the green spam (or elog messages) that I saw scrolling
through my console while I was updating 40 packages.
So I've found a simple command to read all the post install messages.
Go to /var/log/paludis/ and then run less for all the files modified
today:
find . -mtime -1 \! -type d -exec less {} \;
This can be improved, bu it is a quick and dirty solution for a dirty method.

Damian.
