Hi Peter,
   For the sake of conversation how about emerge flags?

My server:

Sector9 ~ # emerge -pv cups hplip

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-print/cups-1.3.9-r1  USE="X acl dbus jpeg ldap pam
perl png ppds python samba ssl tiff -avahi -gnutls -java -kerberos
-php -slp -static -xinetd -zeroconf" LINGUAS="en -de -es -et -fr -he
-id -it -ja -pl -sv -zh_TW" 0 kB

[ebuild   R   ] net-print/hplip-2.8.6b  USE="dbus ppds qt3 qt4
-cupsddk -doc -fax -minimal -parport -scanner -snmp" 0 kB


One of my clients:

dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv cups hplip

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] net-print/cups-1.3.9-r1  USE="X acl dbus jpeg ldap pam

   I can send config files again if you need them but they haven't
changed in the few weeks since you looked at this.

Cheers,
Mark
