If the flag enables mod support, it should be "mod" with the description |
| 19 |
saying that it enables mod support, the "how" of it probably doesn't |
| 20 |
particularly matter to the user reading about it. If there's support for |
| 21 |
mod other than modplug, then "modplug" it should remain, and the |
| 22 |
description should mention that. (See the recent discussion over |
| 23 |
USE=lame, vs. simply mp3, also a USE flag.) |
