OK, so this seems to be part of using the FEATURES=" ... " line in make.conf.

I do not have a FEATURES line at all so I'm hesitant to just start
throwing things in. <<glug...help...>>

I've heard of things like sandbox and ccache but I've never touched
them. Would they be good things to use all the time or are they more
for developers?

Anyway, if someone can help clear this up I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mark
