Speaking of revdep-rebuild, if you do "revdep-rebuild -pv" it will do a lot of work building indexes, then delete them! However, if you do "revdep-rebuild -pv world" it will do a lot of work building indexes, then throw an error, because the "world" is tacked on to the emerge command! But when it throws an error, it leaves the indexes there! So you can then type "revdep-rebuild -v" and it will just do the rebuild!
I suppose I should file that as a change request -- don't delete the indexes on a "pretend" revdep-rebuild.
