Thanks for the links.  They explained alot.  I now understand what is meant by the USE parameters
and the "minus" use parameters. But I have a few additional questions.

For example: from "emerge -DuvpN world"
net-im/gaim-1.5.0  USE="eds nls perl spell tcltk* -cjk -debug -gnutls -krb4 -minimal% -nas -silc"
0 kB

Is there any significance to the USE color codes:
RED:    eds, nls, perl, spell
GREEN:  tcltk*
BLUE:   -cjk, -debug, -gnutls, -krb4, -nas, -silc
YELLOW: -minimal%

And also, is there any significance to * and %
tcltk*
-minimal%

Thanks for the your input.

Regards,
