There should also be a way of referring to a use flag owned by either
this or another package. For example:

<flag name="foo">Enables support for fooing. Ignored unless <flagref
name="bar">plugin</flagref> support is enabled for this package and
<flagref restrict="app-misc/foo" name="bindings">bindings</flagref> is
enabled for <pkg>app-misc/foo</pkg>.</flag>

But that's rather ugly... There's probably a nicer way of marking it up
using XML.
