Hi Dale,

thank you for your posting! :)

mine says:

[U] media-gfx/imagemagick
     Available versions:  6.9.10.74(0/6.9.10.74)^tu 7.0.9.5(0/7.0.9)^t **9999(0/7.0.9)*l^t {X bzip2 corefonts cxx djvu fftw fontconfig fpx graphviz hdri heif jbig jpeg jpeg2k lcms lqr lzma opencl openexr openmp pango perl png postscript q32 q8 raw static-libs svg test tiff truetype webp wmf xml zlib}

So "cxx" is already set. I will try to disable it, but it was not set
by me...so it may break other things.

Could this not make a little bit clearer?

Cheers!
