1 Ok, with shame I think I can say I learned something. Since progressive
2 inherits from macos I consider it to be wrong to have collision-protect
3 USE flags in the macos/use.mask file. Instead they should go into the
4 macos/10.[34]/use.mask files. I corrected this issue already in CVS.
5 If someone still has some nice comment on this, please say so.
