Re: [gentoo-dev] something like debconf for gentoo?

[Matt Thrailkill <xwred1@xwredwing.net>]

Something like this would be handy.  Even in FreeBSD, they have sort of
an interactive questionaire thing when you build something from Ports. 
For example, when you try to build Samba in Ports, it brings up a text
dialog with a bunch of checkboxes for all the Samba options like ACLs
and LDAP support, and you check off the ones you want; obviously then it
adds those to the ./configure line it uses in the Makefile.

I know Gentoo relies on USE flags and they are all magical and stuff,
but you can't have a USE flag for *everything*.
