Attachments:	Fixes output of `euse -i` to display all global and all local flags

Description Jared Hancock 2011-04-25 03:42:00 UTC

euse -i should give information about all known use flags is two sections: global (use.desc) and local (use.local.desc). The output is correct for the global section, but globbing  happens for the local section and the files in the current location are used for searching instead of "*".

If either scope is searched independently (euse -i -l or euse -i -g) then the output is correct

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. euse -i
Actual Results:  
Shows all the global use flags and local flags that match files int he current working path

Expected Results:  
Shows all the global and all the local use flags

Fixes output of `euse -i` to display all global and all local flags

Although the output is so verbose that it is unlikely useful

Jared.  You do know that local use flags can be defined in the packages metadata.xml file.  From what I've gathered from watching portage development is that they want to move away from use.local.desc in favor of using metadata.xml which will more accurately describe the flag's use in the package.
