Well, sort of seems like about the same. The dev changed the USE flag,
it is changed, portage sees it was changed, portage wants to recompile
it with the new/changed flags.
I'm not exactly clear on the difference between newuse and changed-use.
If you enable a USE flag, it is changed. If you disable a USE flag, it
is changed. If a new flag comes along and it is different than the last
install, then it can be either a new flag or a changed flag. It should
recompile either way.
Maybe there is some subtle difference somewhere that I am missing.
