Description Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Adds description searching as an option to -s
Patch against 2.0.15

Equivalent:
emerge -s --searchdesc html
emerge -sS html
emerge -S html

Fairly straightforward.
The try/except blocks are commented for the exceptions they handle.

Apparently Python optimizes repetitive blocks well, as I tried to do
a speedup by using an integer comparison versus an 'in myarray' type,
and saw no difference in speed.
