No, I meant one USE flag, called "tools", that builds and installs all or
none of them.  Unless they have external dependencies, or extraordinary
build times, or licensing issues, then I can't see a situation where someone
would want or need to pick and choose like this.  If you disagree then I
suppose an expanded variable is an improvement, though I don't like them
myself.

Kudos on the USE flag descriptions in any case.  Very informative.
