Perhaps this is entirely true, and I am misinterpreting. But the
manpage appears to say differently:
() circumfix = forced, masked, or removed
Not only might those options be masked, they might also be 'forced' or
'removed'. I don't know what 'removed' would be, but take a look at
this output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ emerge openssl -avp

Calculating dependencies... done!

lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni lahf_lm
Is portage building without sse2 support? Probably not. I think
instead the support is 'forced' because my processor supports it,
although perhaps I am incorrect. It might also be 'forced' because a
dependency uses it, and therefore openssl can't _not_ use it, so it
adds it in be default.
