Nope, lets bring it to -dev ( yay crossposting )

The issue for those on the -dev ML, is that portage has some features
that require binaries ( sandbox, ccache, confcache ) and so you need two
things for them to work.  You need FEATURES={sandbox,ccache,confcache}
and you need each package installed.  The FEATURES line is already
printed.  sandbox is already in info_pkgs.

Is there any problem with adding dev-util/confcache and dev-util/ccache
to info_pkgs?

Being the one to take the pieces of confcache, I'm _really_ happy to see that 
happening :)
