The one that you mentioned seems to be a little bit more involved than 
my patch. Which, if thats ok with you, then its ok with me :) His is a 
full class that can be used to get various things... while mine just 
goes out there, opens the file, then displays the results... the class 
idea is more efficient it would seem (only opens file once).

Although, instead of using his proposed --use-local-desc, and etc... it 
could be something like --vv (a shorter "long" option), or -vv (but 
wouldn't that mean rewriting some of the code to handle options?), like 
mentioned above.

My guess on the lack of feekback on the bug is that a feature like this 
wouldn't be as useful to someone who isn't new to gentoo, and in fact 
(as mentioned above), could actually be quite annoying. But for someone 
who is still new to gentoo.. it would be useful until they get a grasp 
on what USE flags do what.
