1 After some resent discussion here of USE in thread:
2 Subject: How to play quicktime (*.mov) videos with firefox

4 I'm a little confused by what I see when investigating the emerge of
5 gimp (wrapped for mail).

7 Calculating dependencies... done!
8 [ebuild N ] media-libs/babl-0.0.22 USE="-mmx -sse" 388 kB

10 [ebuild N ] media-libs/gegl-0.0.22 USE="svg -cairo -debug -doc
11 -ffmpeg -jpeg -mmx -openexr -png
12 -raw -sdl -sse -v4l" 1,226 kB

14 [ebuild N ] media-gfx/gimp-2.6.6 USE="alsa python svg -aalib
15 (-altivec) -curl -dbus -debug -doc -exif -gnome -hal -jpeg -lcms -mmx
16 -mng -pdf -png -smp -sse -tiff -webkit -wmf" 15,700 kB

18 Would anyone want things like -jpeg, -pdf, -png, -tiff, -exif - turned
19 off in an image (or photo) processing program?
20
21 What does it mean that those flags are turned off?
22 Should I turn them on before emerging?
