15 If you're asking me, I have not found any missing functionality, but I
16 don't use gimp often, so it's possible. I have no explicit mention of
17 gimp in /etc/portage, so those are apparently just the accumulation of
18 various settings in make.conf on top of the gimp defaults. Those two
19 in particular are global USE flags, so I suppose you would have to read
20 the ebuild to see what effect they have on the build.
