"emerge gcc" would be easy to add. Not a priority for me atm. Is it really
so hard to type "emerge sys-devel/gcc"?

There is a command called "script" that can be used to log everything that
happens on the console. This logging issue comes up periodically, and
personally, I think it's easier to use our already existing command. Type "man
script". Basically, "script" gives you a new shell where everything is logged
to a typescript file. When you exit the new shell, scripting is turned off.
The disadvantage of this approach is that scripting does not happen on a
per-package basis. But I haven't seen any Gentoo Linux developers actually
requesting enhanced logging capabilities. So again, not a high priority.
