I think it's ok to add it. But the problem is with the definition. The |
| 12 |
packages you intend to add support for are about adding librsvg deps, |
| 13 |
but mozilla is about adding a non-default internal lib. Those are two |
| 14 |
different things. I don't know the quality of the mozilla lib, but given |
| 15 |
that it isn't a default option makes me think it isn't as much of a |
| 16 |
focus point. |

This touches a problem with USE flags, are they tied to an |
| 19 |
implementation or are they an umbrella for a specification ? We have |
| 20 |
both forms at this point and that adds to the confusion. We should |
| 21 |
probably re-evaluate the USE flags setup. |
