For users not familiar with the ARM arch, neon is arguably more likely to be associated with net-libs/neon. Certainly that's what I would have immediately thought, tho my only familiarity with the library is as a dependency that IIRC used to trigger lots of subversion rebuilds, etc (now days I don't even have subversion on the system, it's all git, but according to equery d, neon is still required by musicbrainz). As such, to avoid confusion I'd suggest arch-neon or arm-neon (or armneon/ archneon) if it's to be a global flag. YMMV... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
