[gentoo-amd64] Resuming an emerge where it left off

[Vladimir G. Ivanovic]

Is there a way of resuming an emerge of a package at exactly the place
where it stopped, like restating a make where it stopped?

For example, it took hours for me to get to the point where the emerge
of openoffice failed because I was using the wrong JDK. It would be nice
not to have to toss away all that work and to be able to restart from
the point where I left off.

I see in /etc/make.conf.example that there is a feature called "noauto"
that seems to do what I want, but every time I've tried using it, it has
restarted from the beginning. I didn't try it with openoffice, but if I
had I would have tried:

        ebuild openoffice-2.0.4.ebuild compile qmerge

Is what I'm after possible?

Thanks.
