Why ? it's just doing something the user will normally do.... |

My idea was to integrate this with emerge, and this seemed something |
| 16 |
not very easy. But I totally agree that it's very easy (too for the SoC) |
| 17 |
to make an external tool to do that. So, since you think that emerge is |
| 18 |
not a place for that, I'll search for a new idea for the SoC and try to |
| 19 |
make this simple tool next week ;) |
