We can use the PROPERTIES variable (or alternatively the RESTRICT
variable) to tag this information in the ebuild. Portage has a
ACCEPT_PROPERTIES configuration variable, and a package.properties file
that can be used to mask and unmask packages based on PROPERTIES. It
would be useful to be able to do this with "live" ebuilds too...
