Thanks! The explanations and examples are a big improvement.

It seems there are still many features not documented in the reference 
manual. The portage_confdir setting is the only one I can think of at 
the moment, but I thought I had run across others. I'll try to mention 
on the list anything I notice isn't documented.

Here are some generic questions I have that reference manual doesn't answer:

Where should I specify ${clst_storedir} and ${clst_sharedir}? 
Environment, spec file, envscript?

Can the grp/use, tinderbox/use, and livecd/use settings include 
negations (-java) and wildcards?

For each target, there are possibly use flags, virtuals, keywords, and 
package masks coming possibly from any of: the catalyst spec file; the 
portage_confdir; the snapshot's /usr/portage/profiles; the seed's 
/usr/portage/profiles; the seed's /etc/make.conf; and the seed's 
/etc/portage. For each target, which portage settings come from which 
sources? A table for each target that illustrates what settings comes 
from what location would provide me with a lot more clarity.

Cheers,
