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.
