If this is the case, excellent. :)

I don't have any of my gentoo systems online just now, so forgive me
for asking something I might as well figured out myself, but;
Where are the individual USE flags saved? If they are, that is.

Building licq is normally a two step process. First you build the
'base' and then the plugin you want. I see no reason why it shouldn't
be possible to increase this to three steps, base + two plugins.

Agreed. But how by using USE flags? Adding a new 'console' flag would
fix this I guess. But as you say, it's up to the current maintainer.

Agreed there too. As long as I don't get the GUI automagically when
upgrading the vim package. :)
