Or, /much/ faster:

emerge -n portage-utils
qlist amarok

The difference between "equery files" and "qlist" is rather astonishing:

# time equery files portage >/dev/null

real 0m13.595s
user 0m1.056s
sys 0m0.124s

# time qlist portage >/dev/null

real 0m0.178s
user 0m0.028s
sys 0m0.004s

Repeat searches are faster than the first search (if you have enough memory
on the system for some disk caching):

# time equery files portage >/dev/null

real 0m1.313s
user 0m1.092s
sys 0m0.056s

# time qlist portage >/dev/null

real 0m0.032s
user 0m0.028s
sys 0m0.004s

However, when you need to do a list, it almost certainly won't be a repeat.
And qlist is still /much/ faster.
