1	How many heads will explode? I have /etc/portage/package.use/package.use
2	file (YES!) The only reason I made a package.use directory was because I
3	set up a cross-build environment, so that my ancient 32-bit Atom netbook
4	wouldn't have to spend 14 hours building Seamonkey. The cross-compiler
5	DEMANDS a package.use directory.
