Got it.

One more question. I remember some time ago somebody had a slick
script or method to compile the apps listed in the world file,
from an existing system to the new system,
all together at once, rather that typing in all of those app
names into one giant emerge command.

I cannot seem to find that thread, via gmane.

Anyone remember that discussion and the resulting conclusion
(which I thought I save but cannot find in my files either) ?

or maybe the best method is:
emerge <list of apps named in another systems world file>

or just scp over a copy of the world file and issue:

emerge -uvDN world
revdep-rebuild    <until no errors?>

???

recommndations on automating this final-step, on a new
installation, are most welcome.

James
