This info will be available in the next day or two.  I'm about to revamp
our USE system so that it's modular, and you can do things like:

USE="cpu(mmx,sse,3dnow) php(*) gnome(*) X(mitshm)"

Basically, we will be adding fine-grained USE functionality in the next
couple of days because the USE variables are growing so rapidly.  This
system will also be backwards-compatible with our old system.  I'll post
lots of docs on this as I begin redesigning things.

Best Regards,
