It's used to write scripts for testing USE combinations and reverse
dependencies and also for stabilizing. It can filter USE flags that are
irrelevant like "linguas_*", etc. If 2^{number of flags} is too much it
will give you a random subset, etc. It can grab the necessary
information from bugzilla if you just give it a bugnumber and it can
also do many packages in one run. The scripts are created using
templates, so in principle it should be pretty flexible. I agree, it
sucks a little, but contributions are welcome.
Cheers,
