good. This is a script based on your idea.
It it configurable and sends colorized output with package description
to the screen, while mainaining the log in the file.
    The log file contains only /usr/portage/... files (no diff trash)

The base directory is configurable (default /root) and the files
are called emerge-rsync.before|after|new. However I think it would
be better to store them somewhere in /var (/var/db/pkg/portage/...
/var/log) because I don't like messing in the home directory,
and if we are going to make it a system utility it should be
well integrated.
