I just went through my "logfiles" created with emerge xxx | tee logfile
and noticed that there are quite a few messages I just would have never
seen.
There are some ebuild-scripts which echo messages, but because emerge
just starts the next ebuild, it is nearly impossible to see them.

I think that ebuilds should never echo anything, but create info-files
(in a special directory) which I could read later on.

Another "problem" is, that, probably because my machine is only a
133MMX, emerge starts the next ebuild without flushing its output.
I always get the message "finished installing into ..."
but then it sometimes finishes the >>> output, sometimes starts the next
ebuild in the middle of a >>> line and sometimes doesn't even show one >>>
line.

ps tell me if this belongs into bugzilla
