[gentoo-dev] pdf use flags

Checking for pdf use flags I just found that there are currently at
least three different flags for pdf stuff in the tree:
- pdflib (global)
- cpdflib (global)
- pdf (several local ones)

All of them mean basically the same (one exception, see below).
I suggest we unify them to one single global "pdf" flag. The following
packages would be affected by this:

$ metascan -v IUSE pdf IUSE pdflib IUSE cpdflib

plus I'm working on another ebuild with optional pdf functionality.

One case that doesn't completely fit into this category is
x11-misc/openclipart as the existing local "pdf" flag just determines
if some pdf files should be installed. Not sure how exactly to deal
with this situation, but in doubt the new global flag could IMO be
abused (less flags == better).

So unless there are any objections to this I'll make the change this
weekend.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.

Yes, pdf in openclipart means - install PDF files (like png, svg flags).
The package contains small ammount of PDF files, but that can change in
next release. If PDF global use flag is introduced then openclipart will
abuse it, but only a little - it will not mean "include support for PDF
files", but "install PDF files" - much like (already mentioned) svg and
png flags. So... don't bother with it ;)

- From me - no objections :)

Funny - I was planning on posting a similar mail about IUSE=pdf later
this week. Thumbs up from me.

Just found another local one with pdfkit for gnustep-apps/gworkspace,
will change that too.
