It still doesn't have the functionality I was describing. I don't want it to show the use 
flags a packages was compiled with. Right now, if you use the '-q' flag to determine what 
packages depend on a specified packages, qpkg assumes that all USE flags are enabled, 
instead of consulting the USE file in /var/db/pkg-category/pkg-name for each installed 
package. In my example from before:

Mplayer was compiled without the 'arts' USE flag set, but qpkg doesn't look at that. It 
sees this:

DEPEND="
<snip>
         arts? ( kde-base/arts )
<snip>
"

in the ebuild for mplayer and assumes it depends on it. I want mplayer to not show up in 
that list because it does *not* depend on arts since it was compiled without support for it.
