Another useflag-related question.

Currently, the encode useflag is defined as follow:

encode - Adds support for MEncoder or LaME encoder, wherever applicable

this is a loose definition which is quite useless for medium user, as it's 
used also in a non-complete-standard way in all ebuilds.

My proposal is to start using lame useflag to enable lame support (in software 
which is just encoding on itself), and using encode with a slight different 
definition for example:

encode - Adds support for encoding files in addiction to decoding

so that it can be used to enable generic encoding support instead of specific 
using lame or mencoder.

Comments?
