Are you saying the fltk is/would be built with -cairo anyway and the recommended addition changes nothing? That sounds extremely undesirable as it would make maintaining package.use much harder. I was under the impression portage only did this if the USE flags for a package needed to be changed from the current settings. -- Neil Bothwick "Everything takes longer than expected, even when you take into account Hoffstead's Law." - Hoffstead's Law
