I didn't really mean for this to turn into a thread about the merits
of REQUIRED_USE; in hindsight I should have left out that first
sentence.

Regardless of the REQUIRED_USE discussion, I don't think it makes
sense to have berkdb and gdbm in USE in make.defaults. I would like to
move them to IUSE defaults or package.use if necessary.
