1 I propose making 'oracle' a global USE flag. Yes we already have
2 'oci8', but oci8 really should only pertain to Oracle 8i support. The
3 change is more notable when packages like PHP have both --with-oci8 and
4 --with-oracle configurations that do different things.

6 I'm going to change dev-db/tora to use oracle instead of oci8, and
7 recommend that packages with option Oracle support use the 'oracle' USE
8 flag.

10 Please let me know what you guys think.
