If the > latter is the case, maybe just "mod" might be a better flag. ++ 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.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
