15 emeta will likely become `equery meta' in the next release of
16 gentoolkit, but feel free to use it from the overlay for now.
17
18 Regarding equery, there's a "changes" option that is just waiting to
19 be written. Considering udept's changleog function is about 30 lines,
20 it should be trivial to do. If people are interested, I can handle
21 that. It's something I would like to have, also.
22
23 I hope to have the upgraded gentoolkit available for testing within a few weeks.
