If I wanted to enable something during an emerge using ECONF to add a
./configure option... what is the proper syntax?

I want to enable rootcommit for cvs.  I thought I remembered something
like:

  ECONF='--enable-rootcommit' USE='server'  emerge -v cvs

But when I watch that run I see --enable-rootcommit is not added to
the configure flags.

What have I done wrong?  What should the cmdline look like?

Yikes, please disregard this request for help.  I used the wrong
wording altogether... it should be EXTRA_ECONF=, not just ECONF=
