 There are currently 6 (7 after I'll commit new ffmpeg) ieee1394 use.local 
 flags.
 I think this is worth moving it as a global useflag.
 
 Someone disagrees?

Why is it a useflag at all?  Does this mean I can create a new usb
flag?  :)

thanks,

There's already:

usb - Adds USB support to applications that have optional USB support (e.g. 
cups)

it usually enables support for libusb or other things like that.

Same for ieee1394, usually enables support for media-plugins/libdc1394, 
sys-libs/libavc1394 and/or sys-libs/libraw1394.

Considering that a person rarely needs *both* libdc1394 and libavc1394,
it would be even cooler to have *two* useflags.

Generally, I've noticed that use flags are named for the functionality
they enable, rather than the libraries that they pull in as depends. It
might be a cleaner approach to use ieee1394 or even just 1394 as the
global flag, and then if any future packages offer a choice between
libs, add some local flags as appropriate.
