Rather than use flags against the gentoo-sources...why not use flags against
the appropriate vanilla versions? Should clear up the tree a bunch, and then
you could have -
vanilla-sources (with use wolk,xfs,ck,etc)
dev-sources (with use mm,whatever)
gentoo-sources
ppc-sources
other-sources..
I know it'd be a bunch of work to change em over, but it'd leave the
gentoo-sources from getting clashed and should be easier to keep track of
one ebuild with different useflags than fifteen ebuilds..or it could be time
for my medication again:)
