Solve the cyclical dependency via breaking the use cycle and doing two
builds of the target instead.
It *does* work. Now I'm reasonably sure I've since *broken* that
support in pkgcore since stubbs/myself worked it out (resolver still
supports it though), but that doesn't mean restoring it is hard.
Frankly I'd rather see us support these things then have the PM bitch
at the user or make guesses on the users behalf.
My 2 cents either way- mainly responding since you seem to be ignoring
that as long as pkg_pretend isn't fricking used, we've got a way to
break use induced cyclical deps automatically via the PM.
