32 Thanks.  I never can remember which direction to read the output of
33 emerge.  I think sometimes it depends on the options.  Alan, who hasn't
34 been around in a long time, used to have some magic on the output.  Neil
35 and Mick are pretty good too.  You may make that list now.  ;-)

37 For anyone running up on this, you have to keyword -r2 as well.  At
38 least I did here.  It works as expected after that.

40 Thanks much.
