USE flags are still used for dependencies.

It will be possible to configure an option that conflicts with a USE flag in 
some cases. Given the grief that would be caused by trying to determine this 
on every package that uses savedconfig it really isn't worth it.

Having said that there are 2 pseudo options here:

make USE=SAVEDCONFIG capitalised so that it looks and is assumed to be 
dominate.

ewarn "You have modified the saved configuration of this package. I assume you 
have set your USE flags to include the appropriate dependencies and/or 
emerged the dependencies already."
