If you read my first email in this thread, you'll see that I don't think
this is a valid solution.  The reason is that it means that vim will be
built differently purely depending on the environment.  Part of the
point of USE and DEPEND is that we get a deterministic build.  I think
the solution of the local USE flag, despite its drawbacks, is better
than depending on the installed environment.
