Hi everyone,

I've written a patch [1] that adds support for package.use.mask in the profile. 
 It should behave exactly as use.mask currently does except that it allows USE 
flags to be masked for specific packages rather than for all packages.

In previous discussion it's been noted that package.mask + use deps would be an 
alternative way to express this type of masking.  However, package.use.mask + 
use deps would have the added ability to mask certain USE flags based on other 
flags that have been selected for a package.  Either way, the per-package 
use.mask functionality is certainly needed.  Shall we go ahead with the 
package.use.mask implementation or not?

Zac
