Should it? Not all athlons have 3dnowext after all.

According to a recent discussion, these have to stay local.

Same argument as ultra1, but according to the functionality that vanilla
provides, this should probably stay local, too. Even if I want a vanilla
kernel, I may not want a vanilla mutt.

This reminds me of something else. Since local flags are not intended to
be set globally, maybe portage should issue a warning if a local flag is
set in make.conf.
