emerge: add 3 new options similar to --exclude
Add --nousepkg-atoms, --useoldpkg-atoms, and --reinstall-atoms flag
to Portage
reinstall-atoms accepts a space separated list of package names or
slot atoms. Emerge will treat matching packages as if they are not
installed, and reinstall them if necessary.
useoldpkg-atoms accepts a space separated list of package names or
slot atoms. Emerge will prefer matching binary packages over newer
unbuilt packages. This is useful in case you want to request that a
particular package won't be rebuilt from source.
nousepkg-atoms accepts a space separated list of package names or
slot atoms. Emerge will ignore matching binary packages.
