Does it repeat the same use flags over and over again for each package, 
or just explain it once? Also, does it distinguish local from global use 
flags? I didn't have a look at the code, but keep in mind that local use 
flags may have different meanings although they're used for more than 
one package.
Also, i (personally) don't like this feature, but i use -v *always*, so 
I suggest you make it only print the explanation if -pvv is given.
