11 Optional dependence does suggest USE flags, yes. =)

13 But it might make more sense to have flags describing the functionality
14 rather than the package they build with; more like "render" and "cursor."

16 In some cases, it may not make sense to have a flag at all and just
17 force it one way or the other.
