Uh, let me run this by you just one more time.  I've never booted
Gentoo before, I've just completed stage (a) and rebooted to a bareass
bucknaked doesn't-even-have-the-tools-needed-to-read-the-manual
system, and I want to read the manual before going on to stage (b).
It should take less than a minute to emerge links, which seems to be
the recommended browser for this purpose.  2.5 hours later I realize
we're compiling Xprt.  WTF?!

Any USEing needs to be done upstream, or the whole mess relabelled as
a very unkind April Fool's joke that can happen on any day of the
year.
