Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

For example run the following on a stable amd64 system:
# emerge -av games-fps/ut2004-cor games-fps/ut2004-ultraduel games-fps/ut2004-hamsterbash

All of them are masked  by: ~amd64 keyword

Currently emerge outputs the following:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "games-fps/ut2004-cor" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- games-fps/ut2004-cor-1.01 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

And I need to add it to package.keywords and re-run emerge command for getting the error for the next

I think that would be much better to show all masked apps in the same message for letting me to add all of them to package.keywords at the same time. It would  save a lot of time to users when unmasking packages

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always
