Neil,

My first message was:

Subject: fast CLI package-Changelog viewer
Body:    Is there such one?

I agree, my English is ugly. I'll try to explain. Saying "viewer" I mean 
something like this:

logviewer kdelibs

will "produce" the same output as, say, 

less /usr/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/ChangeLog

You see, it is impossible to remember all packages' dirs. Of course, I 
can use 'q' or 'eix' to find a dir and then type in a long 'less ...' 
command. But, well, why do all these 'eix' and 'q' exist? I think to 
save some users' time. Is my intention more clear now? :-)
