Glad to see that using -* made your life easier.

[gentoo-user] Cleaner USE variable in /etc/make.conf
I have a long USE variable (starts with -*, so I enter stuff
manually. At one point it got to be something like...
USE=-* 3dnow X a52 aac alsa bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr dga dio divx4linux dri dvd

My USE variable still ends up with the same information, but I have an
easier time editing it. The only question I have is whether there are
any groups of reserved variable names /etc/make.conf, so that I don't
screw up system variables.
This won't be the final config. I'm trying to figure out a logical
way to break up USE_multimedia, but I run into programs like mplayer
that work with audio, video, and still images. USE_misc will always
be a candidate for taking stuff out.
