Something I find useful on occasion when looking at and dealing with
USE flags is a funky old tool on portage called 'ufed'.

You type 'ufed' at a command line and get an ncurses sort of window.
You don't need to be in X.

The application lists many flags and a description of their purpose
(in alphabetical order).  

You can just start typing the name of any USE flag... and find it
right quick, along with a somewhat detailed purpose explanation.

You can globally set flags... and maybe set them in other ways.... I
never use that part.... but find it really handy to find out what a
flag is supposed to do.
