Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

When the emerge --autounmask-continue option is specified on the command line, it will not work if EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS contains --autounmask=n. This can be confusing, since it simply fails to work and emerge does not emit any messages to indicate that the options conflict with each other.
