Yes that does the trick.  Thank you.

I didn't know if there was an internal portage module that could reload /etc/make.conf.
It did not seem to slow a reload down too much on my system but I imagine it could for
some of the older slower machines.   Now I'll have to come up with a method for plugins 
to interface with porthole.   Hopefully Dan will be back in operation soon so we can set up
a good plan of attack.


Also, while I've got your attention.   I was experimenting with some things and noticed that 
when I had temporarily renamed /etc/portage/package.keywords, porthole seemed to reload the
upgrades list in less than half the time.   Is there any plan or thoughts to cache the file
(if it isn't already) to speed things up, or is it something unavoidable.
