  What I find interesting/annoying is that my make.conf has to have 3
lines...

PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"
USE_PYTHON="2.7"

...as if it didn't hear me the first time.  How difficult would it be to
set up an eclass to tell portage that...

if PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="pythonX_Y"

PYTHON_TARGETS defaults to "${PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET}"

USE_PYTHON defaults to "${PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET/_/.}"

  Over-ride the default if explicitly listed.  Out of sheer curiousity,
what circumstances are there where ordinary users would need differing
values for these 3 items?
