Well, I've done a simple addition to the current ebuild script that will
set INTERACTIVE=y in the .ebuild file if it is passed w/ the -i switch.
I put it in sys-apps/portage/files/ebuild-pete. I'll also attach a
linux kernel ebuild script I put together to take advantage of this...

I'll email it to you separately from this message.
