I would like to know how the current USE variables are set. I know that "emerge --info" displays a list of all of them, but it doesn't discriminate where they come from. I couldn't find clear documentation about it, but of course I may have missed something. In the same line, I find /etc/make.profile/make.defaults _very strange_. "perl"? Sure. "fortran"? Well, who knows... But "emboss"?! (In case it doesn't ring a bell immediately: emboss - Adds support for the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite) Could this be a joke? I'm writing "-*" at the beginning of the USE declaration in /etc/make.conf, but I can't avoid the feeling that this may be a Bad Thing.
