------- Additional Comments From eric AT sandall.us 2003-11-14 11:26 -------
Well, I've thought some more on this and I'm not sure /how/ we would do this.
How do we make a sane choice? We can't just default to the first choice ('0'),
as that's not always sane. Take X11-LIBS for instance, which are listed in
this
order for depends:

xdirectfb
xfree86
xfree86-devel

and optional_depends

[none]
xdirectfb
xfree86
xfree86-devel

So, if we defaulted to '0' on this, we'd either get xdirectfb or none, neither
of which I think the user would want. What we need is some way for the user to
say, "I want <blah> to be used for all <BLAH>", such as:

I want xfree86 to be used for all X11-LIBS
I want freeglut to be used for all GLUT
etc.

Gentoo uses "USE" flags in their script, but those are used slightly
differently
(i.e. USE gtk, then all apps that can use gtk compile with it).

Thoughts?
