Ahh, indeed. You mean that existing dependencies on emul-linux-x86-xlibs should be converted into finer-grained dependencies on individual libraries. Of course, that is a very good idea. In the case of Xaw, I added a deprecated USE flag recently that controls the building of the old Xaw6, so we're already working toward trimming Xaw from users' systems. :)
