Way to decrease entropy, Chris. Why don't you email the whole list 
and tell them how to implement a minute reduction in CPU cycles. ;-D
(I'm just kidding, this is a better way.)

This doesn't work, nor does

	cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | emerge --ask
	cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | emerge --pretend
	cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | xargs emerge --ask

However,

	cat welcome_to_my_world.lst | xargs emerge --pretend

does work.

I didn't try it without pretend, but I betcha it'd work.

Weird, huh?
