Sorry to hammer on this so much... I haven't been tinkering and
keeping up with my gentoo install for a while.

emerge -v -p emacs-cvs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/cvs-1.11.18  -doc -emacs 0 kB 
[ebuild  N    ] app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.50  +X -Xaw3d 
(-aqua) -debug +gif +gnome +gtk +jpeg +nls +png +spell +tiff 0 kB

I have a more recent cvs installed from scratch too.  Mainly to build
a version that allows root commits.
Looking at the output I've forgotten what the minus and plus signs
mean.

I kind of understand the notations on `emacs-cvs' from building it
repeatedly over the years.  It will build with those items with plus
signs but in this case I know what the items are.

cvs-1.11.18  -doc -emacs <= what does it mean exactly?  Why would
emacs be a factor in building cvs?  And what does -doc refer to.
