7 Just a thought, but wouldn't 'carbon' be overly specific and later
8 necessitate the creation of a 'cocoa' use flag?
9 My understanding is that naming use flags after specific libraries is
10 only to facilitate toggling of the dependency on said library, which is
11 invalid for this particular flag because all macos systems have both
12 the carbon and cocoa libraries present.
13 Perhaps a either a more generic name along the lines of 'osxgui' or a
14 more specific name like 'cocoabindings' should be considered, depending
15 on what you intend the flag to actually do.
