22 IIRC, it is not possible to get a complete file list without actually
23 compiling the package, because the different USE flags declared change
24 which files will be installed.

26 However, if you are willing to build the package without actually
27 installing it to your system, you can run emerge with the '-B' option
28 to build a binary package. This command creates a .tbz2 archive
29 containing all of the files that would be installed by the package,
30 which you can then browse through.
