There's a reason that bugzilla mandates you provide a comment before
closing a bug - even if its to say what you just did.

While the bug may have devolved, the original gist still stands - can we
have a means of having FEATURES="maktest" translated into a use flag
without requiring users to set both? (see my last comment in the bug for
my interest on the matter :) I'm not advocating a full FEATURE explosion
or anything of the like, and maybe this is something that should have
been a USE flag and not a FEATURE to begin with, but its where we're at.

I can of course take this over to bugzilla if you'd prefer :)
