euse: TNG

Jared Hancock and I are working on a next-gen euse (from gentoolkit). It provides much more detailed information about USE flags, right down to the ebuild. The current euse shows local flags per package, which is often quite inaccurate, as local flags come and go. Some flags are turned on globally but then turned off in the ebuild, and then turned back on by the user in /etc/portage/package.use. The new euse will show all this. You can follow our progress at bugs.gentoo.org.
