Use a directory for package.use, it makes it far easier to

I have done that for package.keywords and unmask. In ways it is
easier but in ways, it is a nightmare. If something is unmasked, I
have to go find the file that unmasked it. I have several since I
use autounmask for most of it. Then add in that the new autounmask
part of emerge seems to pick a random file to add too. At that
point, not much makes sense anymore.
grep is your very very good friend
So is giving the files sensible names :)
That was what I liked about autounmask, the tree version not the portage
one. It gave them some names at least. Still felt like looking for a
needle in a haystack sometimes tho.
