Hello there,

I have been developing a GUI portage interface in my free time since the
beginning of the year, called [1]Himerge, that includes a use flag
editor [2](UFED GUI) , which allows you to do this kind of things very
easily (or at least it should :-).

I still don't even release a tarball for it, so you will have to get it
with darcs if you want to try it out.

Suggestions and criticisms welcome.
