cairo and openexr, good idea, AFAIK.  udev has come up before but from
that discussion, the flag means slightly different things in some cases. 
Keeping it local allows individual per-pkg descriptions, so where it means
something different, the description can say so.  In both meanings, udev
defaulting to on remained best, but with the slightly different meanings...
There was some discussion about modifying things or changing the flag
where it meant something else, but I don't know what came of that.
