USE="X" means use X. If a package with optional X support does not use
X when I've told it to via the X use flag, I'd consider that a bug.
There's no reason to add additional use flags for something that seems
to stem from a misunderstanding of the distro one is using. You can
only hold someone's hand for so long - it's better to educate the
misguided user than make the use flag system inconsistent.</I></FONT></PRE>
