I noticed while emerging mysql that the ./configure flags used during

Not a good plan for someone knowing zip about mysql. How can I
change that to --with-docs from cmdline?
Another thing I noticed is this:
[...] --with-big-tables --without-docs --without-big-tables
What gives with that...?
I do not know much about mysql, but looking at the latest ebuild it
seems that it does not look for a doc USE flag. You will have to
manually change the ebuild to --with-docs. Gentoo's ebuild howto will
explain you how to do that.
About the --with-big-tables and --without-big-tables, this kind of
behaviour is usual. There is some logic behind the choice of which
option will be used, and portage makes use of that. Usually you can
safely assume portage has already figured that out for you; and in this
case it checks for the big-tables USE flag to do so.
