I think that it would make things more clear and simple if portage did
support the following (maybe some are already included, but not found by
me):

* Add package to "world" checking all dependencies, but not emerging
* Remove package from "world" without unmerging
* Save all important messages into file instead of beeping (i may be away
from home); optionally replay them at end of update
* When updating or installing new package, if something goes wrong, still
emerge other packages, which havent failed packages as dependencies -- in my
case, for example, when i do --update, for example, then the fact that
update of first package fails does not definitely mean that i dont want to
update others

excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for
fun or profit, what the hell are you doing here?
