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?
