Revised to use a separate variable for the name of the flag instead of
reading IUSE, as suggested by Ciaran McCreesh. As a result of this
change, vala.eclass now defaults to assuming that vala support is
optional (which is the case in an overwhelming majority of ebuilds that
would want to use this eclass).
