I've been wondering for a long time why portage doesn't continue with
building other packages when one fails - so long as deps are met why
stop?

Acutally, while I'm on the subject of features - here's another one I'd
like to see:  parallel merges instead of parallel makes.  Since many
packages have problems with MAKEOPTS, it doesn't help with configure
scripts anyway and other parts of the process, why not spawn 2 or 3
emerges automatically?  Each one could do it's own "tree" of packages
and dependencies that don't affect the other...  would be nice IMHO.
