Quickalarm: what's that? e-d-s integration: merge gnome-panel with
USE="eds".

Where? I can't see it in configure.ac.

To add flags to configure you can most of the time use EXTRA_ECONF, as
long as the ebuild uses econf or an eclass that uses econf. Read
ebuild(5) for details. This is useful for testing, but so that everyone
can benefit, if you think that a configure flag should be added then
file a bug with full details and a suggestion of what USE flag it should
be governed by.
