And I can now report that it WAS `-xface' or so it would seem since 
running `emerge -v -xpm -xface' has completed without error.

Thanks... but this brings a question to my mind and makes me think I've
been misunderstanding the output one sees with `emerge -vp whatever'

I've been using that to see what USE flags would be in play.  Is that
a wrong notion?  Because `xface' was NOT a flag that showed up on my
trial run with `emerge -vp emacs-cvs'.
