I, as a regular user, second this.
Before we had a 'bzlib' USE-flag, and now it is 'bzip2', which is more
user-friendlier for users to understand.

Query: Which would be more appropriate in this case? jasper for the

tell) which provides JPEG-2000, but there could be.
It is imho a _problem_ when use flags are _unnecessarily_ named after the
library instead the provided functionality. When there are two libs doing
the same thing, a single use flag should suffice: Less use flags mean
reduced complexity for the user, who likely will understand what jpeg2k
means, but not jasper. Which leads me to the next issue; Often you can
read:
foo - enables support for $category/foo
Such a description is as good as none. To give a sample how it should be:
jpeg2k - Support for JPEG 2000, a wavelet-based image compression format.
