Here's a little bash function that might help:
explainuseflag() {
sed -ne "s,^\([^ ]*:\)\?$1 - ,,p" \
/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc \
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
}
Then you can do:
bash $ explainuseflag xinerama
Add support for XFree86's xinerama extension, which allows you to
stretch your display across multiple monitors
