Some time ago, Zac proposed a general PLUGIN (or PLUGINS) use-expand,
which could be used for packages with a small amount of plugins to avoid
having a new USE_EXPAND for each and every package. It also has the
advantage, that the resulting useflag 'plugins_foobar' is sane enough
(opposed to 'monkeyd_plugins_foobar'). With this, it serves as a quite
nice compromise for the fraction of USE_EXPAND-dislikers (like me).
Unfortunately this did not get any real discussion. So could this
package be an option to start this? Or do you insist on
monkeyd_{plugins,modules,...}_ ?
Thanks,
