[gentoo-dev] A question about USE flags...

I have a package, x11-plugins/wmhdplop, which depends on
media-libs/imlib2 being compiled with 'X' USE flag set. Is there a
way to specify such a dependancy? Right now I added a warning if 'X'
USE flag is not set, but I don't like this solution, as it might not
always catch the problem (i.e.: USE flag change), plus it makes repoman
not happy, as of course I didn't add X to IUSE (as there is no
*optional* X support for wmhdplop)...

You can use `built_with_use media-libs/imlib2 X` as defined in
eutils.eclass.

Thank you, that worked fine :-)
