and we'll have to back out of later, why dont we wait until portage can
give us proper support for USE=client/server
-mike


So we have two use flags - client and server. Here are the possabilities

-client -server
+client -server
+client +server
-client +server

Do we read -client -server and +client +server to mean the same thing?
If so the logic can read

if use client || ! use server ; then
# build client fi
if use server || ! use client ; then
    # build server
fi

How does portage stop us from doing that now?


built_with_use is then incorrect, since for -client -server you really built both.
