The problem is: USE=3D"mozilla" is used to determine if the user want to
have a browserplugin _in general_ not just only if the user have a
mozilla-based browser.
I think the following scheme would be a good idea:
Useflag Description / Use
============================================================================
o. gecko Specifies if an ebuild comes with mozilla-support.=
E.g. net-www/liferea
============================================================================
o. mozilla-ssl Specifies if an application could link against=20
mozilla-libraries. E.g. net-im/gaim,
mail-client/evolution
============================================================================
o. browserplugin Specifies if a browserplugin should be build if
a package provides one
