xorg-libs-profile <-- there is this in xorg-libs and it should be noted
atm doesn't have a PROVIDES...

The thing is the better way would be to != any of the current X11-LIBS
provides use the new depends else use old. That way it would provide
the greatest benefits. Also note the mouse and stuff I found on gentoo
wiki.

Also we need a grimoire function config_query_checkbox which behaves
similar to config_query_list but that it allows multiple choices
to be selected. That would make it possible to have all the various
drivers(input and video) easily and nicely configured.

I do plan on working on it but if someone has any ideas or so fell free
to suggest them or implement them.

I don't think profile spells are the way to go since they get cast once
then they are forgotten...
