/etc/make.defaults is antiquated.  If you have portage-1.5-r1 installed, then
you should remove it.  All your custom settings should go in /etc/make.conf.

This sets the HOST variable for compiles, i.e. "i686-pc-linux-gnu"

Yes.

Yes.

This allows you to set what optional components you'd like compiled-in if
available.  For example, if you have "gnome" inside the USE string, then when
you compile xchat, it will include GNOME support.  All our dependencies are
also USE-aware.
