Emerge --metadata is just updating the portage cache from the /var/db/pkg to
speedup dependencies calculation... I was thinking about doing an emerge
--pretend --empty world with some kind of sed/awk to get a list of what would
normally be installed on my system, but circular dependencies kill the idea in
the egg... because actually, portage think that nothing is installed on my system...

Any other idea ?
