hmm, quite inconsitent. |

Would be better if we had something similar to package.use, but for |
| 10 |
things like CFLAGS. (btw: evrything that can be controlled by environment |
| 11 |
should be also available through such per-package tables in /etc/portage/) |

IMHO there was some "hardened" useflag. Is it the place where such |
| 20 |
things should go ? |

hmm, for most users this should be okay. |
| 27 |
But what's w/ people who want to play around w/ this ? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
BTW: is there a way for masking an useflag of some package ? |
| 30 |
Lets say, we've got some package which has special mmx support. |
| 31 |
The package itself (w/o mmx) has been proven as stable, but the mmx |
| 32 |
stuff hasn't. Is it then possible to mask only the MMX stuff ? |
