Editing make.conf is easy, knowing what to put in it is the hard part.
what are all the possible flag names you can enter? There are
hundreds. What do they all mean? How does enabling or disabling a
particular use flag effect the build of all packages that use it?
Which packages share a use flag? Which flags are mutually exclusive?
Which ones are enabled by default, that you want disabled?
There is much more involved than simply editing a file.
