Moving slightly off-topic, it would have been nice if portage had told
you that you were trying to use an unsupported USE flag in a more
obvious way than the simple yellow 'tcltk%' it currently gives. It's
very easy to miss that in the huge mass of detail from emerge world.

I'd prefer a more verbose message at the end, where blockers and masking
information goes. Such a thing would have saved you much effort.
