updateworld.sh - a simple way to manage world updates

This script manages and performs world updates for the Gentoo distro. It can perform the usual sync, emerge world, revdep, etc-update, plus options to add in whatever custom commands you want. It is maintained by a central .conf file to make it easy. The goal is to either give an end-user a simple, customized, and either quiet or verbose world update experience. On top of that it can be set to run autonomously, if you have many deployed Gentoo machines and have approved a branch to update to, pushing out this one line script should make it simple. This script has bash color logging, the default location is in `/var/log/portage`.
