I learned I can use 'etcat use' if I don't know the meaning of the useflags.
But the fact is I used gentoo for one year, everytime I get confused I will
do 'etcat use' and I never got explanation of the use flags.
Even the extremely complicated packages like mplayer and vlc both have no
explanation on use flags. As well as big packages like xorg-x11. Is there
anything wrong with my box?
Can you give an example package that *has* explanation of the USE flags? So
I can at least know 'etcat uses' *works* on some packages.
