Look, that's sample output from portlog-info:
=== 2004-07-08 12:56 === iptables-1.2.11-r2 ===
 = /var/log/emerge/4528-iptables-1.2.11-r2.log =

 * This package now includes an initscript which loads and saves

 * This location can be changed in /etc/conf.d/iptables

 * If you are using the iptables initsscript you should save your

As you can see these *ARE* the einfo lines, so there's no need for other
files like iptables.einfo.log, because the information is already there.
Or maybe I'm just not getting what you're trying to tell me, which is
always a possibility with me... ;-)
