Thanks for that link.  Somehow, I don't have the portage FAQ in my=20
bookmarks, where I could refer to it answering questions, etc (as well as=
=20
for my own use).

Since due to the mix of USE flags, etc, stuff like kdelibs appears in my=20
@system's deps, that FAQ entry does help answer the question you so well=20
intuited that I was alluding to. =3D:^)

Meanwhile, now that I've envisioned the "emerging" app as described=20
thanks to the stimulus provided by this thread, perhaps I'll implement at=
=20
least parts of it in my own customized portage front-end scripts.  I=20
already have quite a collection accumulated as I expect many gentoo users=
=20
do after a few years, but this would certainly be one of my more=20
ambitious to date.  If anything comes of the idea...
