Well, to get that info, you'd have to do even more shell-foo :) I believe that KDE-related packages often have dependencies of the former sort; for example use imlib && built_with_use dev-libs/imlib X I've personally encountered use-deps of the type: use cairo && built_with_use category/cairo X use avahi && built_with_use net-dns/avahi gtk etc. Also, the same logic would apply to the existing pkg[use?] deps too. However, pkg[use1?use2] seem to be (at the very least) common in relation to pkg[use?] deps. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
