USE flags are generally for *optional* build-time functionality. We will have |
| 11 |
a new USE system in a week or two to help deal with additional complexity: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
USE="X(nvidia,ati) cpu(mmx,sse) db(postgresql,mysql)" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Additionally, we will support things like this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
"X(*)" (to enable all X-related extensions) |
