often times when i get a bug report about certain packages, there's 
information about that package that i usually ask for ... i wonder if this 
can be automated

perhaps extend the syntax of profiles/info_pkgs:
<atom> [command to pass to system()]
sys-libs/glibc /lib/libc.so.6

then when people run `emerge --verbose --info`, for every atom matched as 
installed, it'd automatically run the listed command and display the output

useful ?  security issue waiting to explode ?  crazy wacky monkey ?
