[gentoo-dev] FYI: earch with SLOT and masking support

[Robin H. Johnson]

For those that use the earch tool, I've written a new version that has
support for SLOTs as well as masked packages (profiles, p.mask, missing
keywords - any masking supported by portage).

http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/earch-0.3

Try it on sys-devel/gcc for example, where there are presently 7 slots
in action.

It doesn't currently get the multislot stuff as used by binutils
correct, but I'm working on that still.

Be sure to read the --help output, to see some of the specific new
features (hide masked packages, display masking method, display
specific SLOT only).

Feedback welcome, please email me with it.
