I made list of ports which have USE_* in them, here's link: http://gits.kiev.ua/ports/ports-use.txt (plain) http://gits.kiev.ua/ports/ports-use.txt.xz (compressed) There's two parts in file - simple stats about which USE_* how often totally appears in ports; And second - for each that USE_* list of ports. I'm supposing these USE_* -> USES conversion vary in difficulty, so I thought if someone discovers some easy one, it better be to have list of ports it's used in immediately, so it can be massively fixed.
