Plus, it's /completely/ trivial to add -* to your USE or (using the great euse tool) euse -D <useflag>. Or, for those type A personalities out there, tweak your /etc/portage/package.use.

Another tool is ufed (use flag editor). Nicely combines flag name, set state, and
brief description.

From this thread, I realized I hadn't ever reviewed my use flags, just added ones as needed for the past 1.5 years. So added the -* to start with. A few surprises like tetek. Found a half dozen deprecated flags. Then using ufed I discovered
several new flags to try.

This has me wondering if there is a utility to help manage the use flags. I'd like
to know:

* Which use flags I have set that are not used by anything I have installed.
* Which use flags are deprecated.
* Which use flags are new.

Ideally I'd just add this to my daily.cron job.

Thank you,
Roy
