  1. A lot of people don't seem to be aware that even on Debian and Red Hat based distros they still have the source available. You can use the package manager to download the source code directly from the repos and compile it yourself or even if you only want to audit what they provide. I'm sure others probably do the same thing, but at least those distros and the one I'm using provide the convenience of binaries with all the source available as well.

  2.  @SlopGuzzler  If it has a configure script then all you have to do is ./configure --help | grep '\(enable\|disable\)'. That's nearly universal too. I wouldn't know what a USE flag was if you hadn't just told me, and I don't know how you list them.
