We need to update this. As with USE ssl - it just enables ssl support |
| 13 |
with no knowledge in advance how it'll be implemented. Since we are |
| 14 |
allowed to have both global and local USE flag descriptions, global USE |
| 15 |
flag now better defines overal sense of USE flag while local may adjust |
| 16 |
it to make better sense for current package... |

It's good idea to open bug and suggest better local USE flag |
| 27 |
descriptions. |
