I suggest that you do something similar to the XORG_DRI variable in xorg-2.eclass. For example: FORTRAN_WANT_COMPILER=no would not add a virtual/fortran dependency FORTRAN_WANT_COMPILER=always would unconditionally depend on virtual/fortran FORTRAN_WANT_COMPILER=useflag would depend on useflag? ( virtual/fortran ) To avoid breaking existing packages, you could default to FORTRAN_WANT_COMPILER=fortran Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
