Local USE vars can be used if they're in use.local.desc. When submitting
this ebuild, make sure to note in the bug any local USE variables. Check
out /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc for an example of some local
USE variables (and the corresponding ebuilds for an example of how
they're used in the ebuild).
Documentation suggests should be posted to http://bugs.gentoo.org -
there are two documentation categories, developer docs and user docs, if
I remember correctly.

Hi,
I am writing ebuilds scripts for the QtParted partition tool. The problem is
that tool need many external tools:
- xfsprogs if it supports the XFS file system
- jfsutils for JFS
- libntfs for NTFS
But the problem is these use variables does not existing (according to
"http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml").
I would need to use them. Can I just suppose these variables already exists,
or is there a need of declaration in the portage internals ?
It would be a good idea to answer this question in the
GentooDeveloperDocumentation.
thanks

for this you might want to build everything into it by default, and have
a set of IUSE flags to disable them?
check out the mozilla ebuild for an example of the IUSE please.
