And I have no clue how to do any of that.  Like I said, emerge just
isn't ready for anything like this.  I was hoping there may be some
option, config file or something that I can use to do this and it just
work.  I think if there was such a thing, someone would have mentioned
it long ago.  Maybe one day something like this will be added.  Then
again, maybe not. 

Thanks to all for trying tho.
