Including the package name. This would also make the UX change smaller, but it would still require changes on the inside, because I guess those atoms don't fit into USE flags. To spell it out, the _TARGETS would need a little bit of separate infrastructure, but not much, just enough to let them use actual version specifiers, which would go through version comparison as expected. (I.e. even if I have python-2.7.3-r2 installed I can still say something like TARGETS="python-2.7".) //Peter
