I would like to search through the portage tree, but instead of looking at
package names I would like to search for a word in the description.  This
came about when I decided to see if portage had any ticket/request systems
already in there.  I figured I would search the descriptions for the word
"ticket" and see what came up.   This a planned feature?  Something else
already do this? Or maybe this should be an addition to gentoolkit,
possibly part of qpkg?
