I still think we need a better long-term solution, but the workaround
is simpler than that.
I try to keep files in directories for package.keywords and
package.use. One starts with a z and is a dumping ground for
auto-whatever. The other files are where I try to remember to store
personal preferences. So, in theory at any time I can wipe the z-file
and run emerge and watch it wrestle with re-creating it.
However, I think a cleaner solution would be better...
