Point taken - If you don't want the extra features you don't want |
| 16 |
libflashsupport at all. |

I could make it so that if all of the USE flags for libflashsupport are |
| 19 |
turned off it doesn't actually install the library at all, just gets |
| 20 |
added to the list of installed packages. |

This way it will adhere to your current set of global USE flags. If you |
| 26 |
have pulseaudio, esd, oss, ssl, or gnutls on globally, it will install |
| 27 |
libflashsupport with the appropriate hooks in it. If they are all |
| 28 |
off (either globally or specifically for libflashsupport) you will |
| 29 |
just get the same old netscape-flash with no add-ons. |

|

Is this a worthy compromise? |
