6 I forgot the mention that as a workaround for bug 238887 you might
7 check for the required USE combination in pkg_setup and die if you
8 requirements aren't met. For example, this is how the openldap
9 ebuild ensures that sasl is enabled when cxx is enabled. It's not
10 very friendly but it works.
