9 It uses the webapp eclass, which SLOTs packages by PVR.

17 Try using emerge -pv instead of just -p. This will show you all the
18 relevant USE flags.

20 Also read GLEP-11 (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0011.html).
21 It is slightly dated (the correct USE flag is vhosts and not vhost).

25 AFAIK, the referenced web server virtual-hosting guide has not yet
26 been written, or if it has, I can't find it on the documentation
27 index.

29 I would try first emerging with --onlydeps, and then use ebuild
30 /path/to/ebuild install to see what files it would create (this only
31 installs in the build root, it does not merge them into the
32 filesystem), and then you should be able to see if anything important
33 will be clobbered.
