The problem is, emerge should be non-interactive, meaning I could walk
away for 12 hours and have it be done when I come back, not have some
silly gentooconf screen waiting on the second of 250 packages. That's
why USE flags are nice. Of course, if one could go through gentooconf
all at once before starting, that might work too.
