Ok, this wasn't clear from your original post. As Neil said, |

--emptytree is what you want. |

nsplugin doesn't /mean/ seamonkey: |

|

~ > grep -e nsplugin -e firefox /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc |
| 20 |
firefox - Build against Firefox instead of Seamonkey/Mozilla |
| 21 |
nsplugin - Builds plugins for Netscape compatible browsers |
| 22 |
|

It just happens that the portage tree prefers seamonkey if you haven't |
| 24 |
specified otherwise. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So in this case, the use flag descriptions do exactly what they say. |
| 27 |
But normally, I just read the ebuild to figure out what a particular |
| 28 |
flag does for a particular build. Sometimes, it just controls |
| 29 |
dependancies, sometimes adds build options, most of the time they do |
| 30 |
both. |
