5 I actually cooked up and have been maintaining a patch for this kind of
6 functionality. It doesn't add a new file, but rather augments the current
7 USE="" variable syntax where you can provide a package for your use flags
8 as such:
9
10 USE="blah stuff such ( cat/pkg -blah -such ) more flags"
11
12 So there are 5 global flags ("+blah +stuff +such +more +flags") except for
13 the specific package cat/pkg which turns off "-blah -such".
