10 it's not lame although it does introduce confusion

12 i requested this feature support negative useflags, for example 'nomac' in

15 normally you'd have to do like:
16 use nomac && myconf="--disable-mac" || myconf="--enable-mac"
17 because the now standard use_enable would not work ... now though you can do
18 `use_enable !nomac mac` :)
