   This is especially useful for e.g. dumping a bunch of ebuilds into a directory, letting the distfiles fetch, swapping terminals for a bit without having to type much (thinking of kernels in my case).

   To do it properly, I'd really want to rework pkgcore's fetcher backend to use requests (or some other native python) instead of wget and parallelize fetching. Pretty sure wget has come along for the ride this long due to inheriting it from portage during the fork.
