Added an option to show which package currently satisfies a given virtual. Thought it may be useful too others.

Usage example:
# equery v editor
app-editors/vim

# equery virtual mta
mail-mta/ssmtp

# equery v foo
!!! There doesn't seem to be a virtual called foo.

Be gentle, I normally don't write much Python. *cough*Ruby herd*cough*

Doesn't equery which virtual/xxx already do this?

Oh, you're correct, I didn't know that this works:

# equery w virtual/mta
/usr/portage/mail-mta/ssmtp/ssmtp-2.60.9.ebuild

However, personnaly I prefer my version, and it was a nice little Python exercise. :)
