This script works with the nvidia-drivers ebuilds currently in the
tree.  If the format of the ewarn messages changes, it won't.

#!/bin/sh

# This quick-and-dirty script checks the available nvidia-drivers
# ebuilds to show you which are meant to build against which kernel
# versions.
# If you use grep without pcre support, you get to rewrite the grep line.

[ -f /etc/make.conf ] && . /etc/make.conf
[ -f /etc/portage/make.conf ] && . /etc/portage/make.conf
echo
for ebuildversion in $(ls "${PORTDIR}"/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/*.ebuild)
  do
    echo ${ebuildversion##*/} supports
    grep -Po '<sys-kernel.*\d' "${ebuildversion}"
    echo
  done
exit
