Hey, that's good to know. I'll pay attention to it when Portage 2.1 becomes
stable.

You may also be interested in a tool called enotice. It should be present
somewhere on the forums. Make sure you have the newest version, because the
older one has a very annoying bug which causes you to miss notices.

Anyway, with enotice, you can easily keep track of the messages emerge gives
you, without digging through the logfiles yourself. There is a similair tool
called portlog (or something, but enotice is much better).
