If you are in the mood for a hack, add --keep-going to the
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS.
Then, in a case like "i actually don't want to compile this
huge package", you can just kill the respective compilation
process; emerge registers this a a failed compilation
and keeps going with the remaining packages.

Note: This is not recommended by any dev, so try at your own risk.
