It would largely be a duplicate, since we've already made a decision about whether the ability to build without a feature is important enough to merit a USE flag. This is essentially rethinking the same decision and adding complexity to it. I think having this as an additional feature in the core PM would be confusing to users. It would probably be a better fit in gentoolkit or a similar tool. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Council Member / Sr. Developer, Gentoo Linux <http://dberkholz.com> Analyst, RedMonk <http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/>
