Yeah, I could see that being a problem. =D

I was under the impression that there was.

/me checks...

Actually Portage has an --resume command-line option.  I've never used it so I 
can't say how it works, but it looks like they've already thought of that.  
There is also a --noreplace option that doesn't install packages that are 
already installed, which is useful for re-using the same command line.
