I know working code exists, because I tried it out a few months ago. The only 
reference I could find now (not sure if it's the same one I used before, or 
if this one even works) is 
http://lists.linux.it/pipermail/bglug/2003-December/004774.html - look at the 
quoted part in English. I can't find the orig message quoted here, but 
haven't tried very hard. Perhaps inside the sources linked from there 
(http://www.ces.clemson.edu/~eduffy/emerge-progress.tar) there's more info.

HTH,
