Solve the cyclical dependency via breaking the use cycle and doing two 
builds of the target instead.

It *does* work.  Now I'm reasonably sure I've since *broken* that 
support in pkgcore since stubbs/myself worked it out (resolver still 
supports it though), but that doesn't mean restoring it is hard.  

Frankly I'd rather see us support these things then have the PM bitch 
at the user or make guesses on the users behalf.

My 2 cents either way- mainly responding since you seem to be ignoring 
that as long as pkg_pretend isn't fricking used, we've got a way to 
break use induced cyclical deps automatically via the PM.
