  [S]etting FEATUTES=-test USE=-test means rebuilding a lot of the
  installed packages. Instead, since USE=test is special already (it
  should only affect what happens in src_test(), right?) we might as
  well disable the test phase, tell the user in einfo, and be done with
  it. We could even write that to vdb so that on the next run, the
  package is re-emerged but with src_test() getting run properly this
  time.
