It would largely be a duplicate, since we've already made a decision
about whether the ability to build without a feature is important enough
to merit a USE flag. This is essentially rethinking the same decision
and adding complexity to it. I think having this as an additional
feature in the core PM would be confusing to users.
It would probably be a better fit in gentoolkit or a similar tool.
