Sooo... /etc/make.conf.example contains this example:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="/path/to/logprocessor -p '${PACKAGE}' -f '${LOGFILE}'"
This is a bug, right? Should be:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="/path/to/logprocessor -p '\${PACKAGE}' -f
'\${LOGFILE}'"
Right?

I don't quite understand this command but nevertheless it works. And so does
escaping the $ signs.

Before I close this thread (now that I can get mails using the custom module),
I would like to know whether someway knows an easy way in which to apply the
patch proposed in the bug #116637?
But anyway, the custom module does work so thanks Neil. :D
