This won't work, I think, since depend atoms include the category name
so if one package in the new category depends on another one, it will
use the standard category rather than the symlinked one in the new
category.
However with regards the original question about adding '--list
<file>' to emerge, you can of course to package lists yourself anyway
as portage exists today. Just create a file with a list of atoms in
it, and do for example:
# cat <file> | xargs emerge -puv
Doesn't get much easier than that - perhaps I'm missing something :)
