You really don't want to do that. you'd end up with an unmanageable mess
that completely overrides /etc/make.conf and your profile.

If you run "emerge -puvDN world" you'll see all packages that are
installed with different USE flags to the current settings. Add these
to /etc/portage/package.use.

I think this is exactly what I was looking for. I already have quite an extensive global USE list (read through the whole list and set/unset what I knew about). I only need to write the different, package-specific ones.

Thanks to everyone for enlightening me on the issue,
