A few notes, requests... whatever:

- It removed the quotes from almost all lines in my make.conf. E.g,
  PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage" became PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage. I
  don't like it when it touches stuff besides my USE flags.

- It removes stuff from my make.conf if it is redundand with the
  information from my profile. For example, if I have "alsa" in
  /etc/make.conf and I run profuse, it says that alsa is set in
  make.defaults and make.conf. I say OK, then run profuse again, and I
  get alsa specified in make.defaults only, because profuse removed it
  from make.conf. Could you implement an option that will at least give
  it a choice to not touch stuff that is already in my make.conf, unless
  I specifically request it? I mean, you do keep the data in the table
  anyway? Maybe if you made use flags with three states ("enabled",
  "disabled" and "unset") it would be trivial to write out to make.conf
  every flag that is not "unset". The table could then display either
  a "+", a "-" or nothing for each flag.

- "profuse --profile-dir=/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/alpha/2004.3"
  fails because of the weirs syntax in that profile.
