So, would emerge know that package foo has a runtime dependency on
package bar *that was built with USE=baz and not USE=-baz* when
emerging the *binary* package foo?

On OpenBSD, for example, pkg_add would know to add package bar-baz.tgz
instead of bar.tgz.

How does this work on Gentoo?  Considering the long IUSEs of some
packages, such a naming convention could get ugly quick.
