The A=3D-issue is pretty straight forward, just grep for A=3D (same for try). I think the time you have to spend on writing some script that would do this automatic would be to great to be meaningful. Also, when going through all ebuilds developers can fix other things, such as style-fixes and such. We should write some spec. on how ebuilds should look like (guidelines for style) and then make a emacs and a vi mode for editing ebuilds that controls the style. Currently ebuilds looks very different from each other confusing people.
