  Thanks.  That sounds like what I'm looking for.

  I won't be running with all USE flags wiped.  In /etc/portage/use.mask
I'll USE="-*", and add the ones I want/need in /etc/make.conf and/or
/etc/portage/package.use.  OK, so maybe I am a bit of a control freak.
When I say USE="a b c", that's what I want; no more and no less.  Asking
for "a b c" and getting "a b c x y z" is not my definition of being in
control.
