8	How about
9
10	VIDEO_CARDS - only used by xorg-drivers
11	LIRC_DEVICES - only used by lirc
12	SANE_BACKENDS - only used by sane
13	CAMERAS - only used by (lib)gphoto
14	APACHE2_MODULES - you get the idea by now
15	QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS
16	QEMU_USER_TARGETS
17	FOO2ZJS_DEVICES
18	DRACUT_MODULES
19	CALLIGRA_FEATURES
20
21	These are all use-expanded variables, so make.conf is the most logical of
22	the existing locations to include them. In some ways, a directory
23	in /etc/portage (something like package.conf) would make more sense, now
24	that there are so many more of these. Incidentally, all of these are in
25	my current make.conf
