Now that is cheating big time.  Why didn't I think of that?  Now they
back in order.  I been cleaning up my USE line in make.conf.  I think
some flags I added ages ago were only used by a few packages but are in
wide use now, and I don't always need them.  So, I edit, run emerge
-auDN world to see what blows up.  Edit again, run emerge and repeat.  I
think I'm on about the 10th repeat now.  Slowly cleaning things up. 

I love the sig on this one.  How is it that thing knows which to pick? 
ROFL 

Thanks for the cheat, I mean tip.  Hit the nail on the head.
