That does not sound like a bad idea, however I wonder how this extends exactly if we start to do this for ebuilds which install a couple of plugins behind a few regular USE flags nowadays like rhythmbox, abiword, etc. The only potential problem that I can think of is that it bloats the environment with an extra variable that's exported to all ebuilds.

As I commented on the hexchat bug, I've decided to use plain USE flags like plugin-... to handle this situation. Also, now I have a better understanding of when to use USE_EXPAND. Regards, Denis M.
