6 /etc/make.defaults is antiquated. If you have portage-1.5-r1 installed, then
7 you should remove it. All your custom settings should go in /etc/make.conf.

25 This allows you to set what optional components you'd like compiled-in if
26 available. For example, if you have "gnome" inside the USE string, then when
27 you compile xchat, it will include GNOME support. All our dependencies are
28 also USE-aware.
