Hi Bo,

 no, I am not on the way to emerge mozilla...

 I thought that on one hand the docs say:

 use USE on the commandline

 while the mailing list says

 DONT use USE on the commandline -- its a very bad thing.

 that only one of that above can be correct and the fact that both
 there are may confuse users of gentoo more than absolutely needed.

 Only my two cent...

 Keep hacking!
