I want to  influence how vim is compiled.  I'm told I need a compile
option called: xterm_clipboard.  How do I tell emerge to enable that
at compile time?

I've been told its done with USE flags but it still isn't clear to mw
how the details work

I'm still not sure what emerge output really means when you run a
pretend install and various flags are displayed with + or minus

  root # emerge -v -p -uD vim

  These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

  Calculating dependencies ...done!
  [ebuild N ] app-editors/vim-6.4 -acl -bash-completion -cscope +gpm
  -minimal +nls +perl +python -ruby -vim-with-x 4,752 kB

Does it mean that the flags displayed are the only ones I can adjust?
