The question is in the subject: how to easily find out what USE flags are
redundant in make.conf and package.use?
Someone somewhere in this list suggested using some tool, I've tried that
but it was extremely verbose, and I'd had to toggle manually flags to see if
it affected or not.
If some tool to pinpoint redundant flags is not already done, one to echo my
flags separated by it's source (profile, make.conf, package.use, ebuild)
would help me a lot.
Look into app-portage/ufed.
Hey, cooool. That is some cool stuff. Maybe I can use this to clean
this up:

How's that for a USE line? What does it look like if there is a USE
flag that no longer exists? I see ones I am not using and are using but
can't figure out what it looks like if the USE flag is in make.conf but
no longer exists in the tree.
Ahhh, for others to know. If there is a flag in make.conf that isn't is
use anymore, invalid I guess, it shows up as UNKNOWN in the
description. Just in case someone else is using ufed inside a Konsole,
the page up/page down buttons work too. There is a LOT of flags in the
tree. I knew there was a lot but I didn't know there was this many. O_O
