1 O.k. so lets say we've got an app that can use either iptables or ipchains.
2 You'd want to make sure one or the other is installed as an RDEPEND or a
3 DEPEND. Is there someway to do:
4
5 (( sys-apps/iptables ) || ( sys-apps/ipchains ))
6 or
7 ( sys-apps/iptables || sys-apps/ipchains )
8
9 I like the second one better.

11 I don't think yet another USE is a very elegant answer here, nor do I know
12 if there's enough examples of this case that would warrant a major rev to
13 portage.
14
15 Any ideas?
