However it should be possible to know all of files that the package
may install. Also, I suspect that the main use of such a search
utility is to find the package which provides either an executable or
a library. In many cases these are installed irrespective of which USE
flags are given. So it would still be useful to have a search function
which would tell you, for example, that 'dig' is installed by package
'net-dns/bind-tools'.
