38 USE Flag package implies USE
39 -------- -------
40 aalib media-libs/aalib
41 acl sys-apps/acl
42 adns net-libs/adns
43 afs net-fs/openafs
44 alsa media-libs/alsa-lib
45 arts kde-base/arts
46 audiofile media-libs/audiofile
47 bash-completion app-shells/bash-completion
48
49 and so on. If package is installed, the corresponding flag is turned on
50 "automatically" hence autouse. This no longer occurs in 2.1.
