Hey Guys,

I've got an idea to implement package notices, as opposed to
outputing these important messages to stdout using e{info,warn,error}.

The idea is VERY simple: write the message to a file (say,
/var/portage/notices/{P}) and have a utility to read and delete these
messages. Maybe even build this functionality into etc-config.
(Maybe mail these messages to a configured address?)

For ease-of-use I propose adding a simple wrapper command ("enotice" or
"notice") that would take care of writing into the correct file.

If this looks like a good idea I'll move on and punch out the matching
code.

Comments? Ideas?
