1 okay, but the emacs ebuild does include mule, just
2 not leim. so the "mule" USE variable can't be used
3 for this: we would need a new variable.
4
5 in any case, i thought USE variables were meant to
6 be applicable across packages; but "mule" and "leim"
7 are pretty much emacs-specific. wouldn't in be
8 better to have a general "multi-byte" or "i18n"
9 USE variable?
