8 I think this solution is far better, until someone smarter than me tells me
9 otherwise.

11 Don't know whether I like the VALID_USE var name, so please at least think
12 about something a little better if you can ;). ( I like green, but not too
13 green if you know what I mean )
14
15 Will we still have to define the use flags in IUSE?
16
17 I'm guessing we can't use IUSE to store this information because of the whole
18 glep-55 thing. IUSE would be my preferred var. both defining the
19 "relationships" and the use flags in only one go.
