14 A tbz2 file is just source code..
15 Assuming you are using portage, emerge -pv <package> will tell you the
16 USE flags. Or you could look at the ebuild in
17 /usr/portage/<category>/<package>. Also, remember that USE flags just
18 effect the configure options. Example, xinerama adds --enable-xinerama
19 to the configure options.
