I don't think you've actually argued the case why one USE flag with |
| 15 |
three, perhaps four modes (off, fmod, libmodplug, and perhaps default) |
| 16 |
is preferable to two USE flags with two modes each (fmod and modplug, |
| 17 |
both refering to the libs a package links to, either on or off). |

Besides, could you explain why are you trying to hijack a short and |
| 20 |
simple thread about globalising one or two USE flags? |
