I would second that feature request.  It would also allow for some intelligent 
'auto-healing' of the system, by allowing one to (optionally) recompile any 
packages dependent on an ebuild that has just been upgraded so they run 
against the newest version or warning one before a package upon which others 
rely is removed.  This is the one feature I miss most about Source Mage 
(sorcerer).
