You destroyed my plan ;-)

This is currently in the enlightenment overlay. Since there are now
alpha snapshots, i plan to add it to the main tree after doing some
tests in the overlay (including the usage of the USE_EXPAND variable).

e17 has a good amount of modules, which can be excluded at compile time.
Each module has a USE flag, some examples for those USE flags:

e_modules_conf-theme, e_modules_conf-wallpaper2, e_modules_ibar,
e_modules_temperature

Those functions are internal ebuild functions, while the USE_EXPANDed
var is exposed to and may be used by the user, so i dont see a high risk
of people mixing them. Maybe some other people can also comment on this?
