And finally I found a nice method for reading the install elog messages: gnus.
Gnus, the emacs news reader, makes it possible to read a directory as
if it were a newsgroup. In this way it is possible to "subscribe" to
the /var/log/paludis directory and manipulate the log messages in the
same way you manipulate news articles (read, mark as important, mark
as unread, etc). If you use emacs and are interested in reading the
paludis logs see "anything groups" in the gnus manual.
