A minor issue: use.local.desc is not sorted properly anymore.
It should be sorted by category/package first, then by the USE flag.

For example (they are all in reverse order now):
   app-editors/emacs < app-editors/emacs-cvs
   dev-db/postgresql < dev-db/postgresql-base
   dev-java/ant < dev-java/ant-tasks
   x11-libs/qt < x11-libs/qt-core

I think something like "sort -t -k1,1" should do the job.

I have yet to touch use.local.desc... so any out of order issues are developer's making.

Still debating how I'm going to do it for the time being.... Attached is a generated file from an hour or two ago. It basically needs to be combined with the current use.local.desc, with the duplicates in use.local.desc removed..

use.local.gen
