If the flag enables mod support, it should be "mod" with the description 
saying that it enables mod support, the "how" of it probably doesn't 
particularly matter to the user reading about it.  If there's support for 
mod other than modplug, then "modplug" it should remain, and the 
description should mention that.  (See the recent discussion over 
USE=lame, vs. simply mp3, also a USE flag.)
