My make.conf is old.  Some of the entries there could be over a decade
old.  I also have commented out a lot of really old stuff, just to see
if it does anything.   I'll go check man emerge and friends and then see
if google does anything useful.  We all know how google is.  ;-)

While at it.  Is there a tool that tells when USE flags in make.conf is
either no longer used or doesn't even exist anymore?  I googled that a
while back and didn't find anything.  I don't think the eix tools does
that either.  It does for the other /etc/portage/ files but I don't
think it touches make.conf. 

Thanks for the heads up.
