I'd be very interested in people's thoughts on this. The more I think about 
it, the more I think it's the most appropriate solution. Nothing in 
FEATURES="noman nodoc noinfo test" affects portage whatsoever other than 
"noinfo" which (only recently) prevents emerge from regenerating info 
indexes. That one could be handled by a hook (although not yet available) and 
the rest could easily be switched to USE flags.

Anybody see any flaws? Anybody want (shudders) a GLEP?
