Thanks for that link.  Somehow, I don't have the portage FAQ in my 
bookmarks, where I could refer to it answering questions, etc (as well as 
for my own use).

Since due to the mix of USE flags, etc, stuff like kdelibs appears in my 
@system's deps, that FAQ entry does help answer the question you so well 
intuited that I was alluding to. =:^)

Meanwhile, now that I've envisioned the "emerging" app as described 
thanks to the stimulus provided by this thread, perhaps I'll implement at 
least parts of it in my own customized portage front-end scripts.  I 
already have quite a collection accumulated as I expect many gentoo users 
do after a few years, but this would certainly be one of my more 
ambitious to date.  If anything comes of the idea...
