And a step farther than that... =)

for USE in ${IUSE}; do
	[[ ${USE} = linguas_* ]] && use_linguas ${USE}
done

with a slightly different definition of use_linguas(). The benefit of 
this is that you only need to define the available languages in one 
place, so you don't need to worry about them getting out of sync. It 
would be a little more elegant if you had IUSE_LINGUAS, which was then 
included in IUSE, so you didn't need to do that test.

Thanks,
Donnie
