You are lucky this problem looked interesting to me! ;->
Here is a script that will:
1. Scan the package database
2. Examine the USE flags from when packages were merged, the USE flags
that the package knows about, and the current global USE flags.
3. Output package names and the use flag settings that need to be in
/etc/portage/package.use to account for the difference between the
global flags and what was in effect when the package was merged.
Save it as mkpkguse.sh and run it with "sh mkpkguse.sh".
Disclaimer: I think this works correctly, but I don't guarantee
anything. If it breaks, you get to keep the pieces.
