Generally, I've noticed that use flags are named for the functionality they enable, rather than the libraries that they pull in as depends. It might be a cleaner approach to use "ieee1394" or even just "1394" as the global flag, and then if any future packages offer a choice between libs, add some local flags as appropriate. --=20 Batou: Hey, Major...
