We'll probably follow upstream's descriptions for all the packages eventually. As for homepages, I'm certainly not going to search for the homepage for every package. If you'd like to do so, by all means file a bug and start listing them. It'd be very much appreciated.
The only useful way to supply HOMEPAGE/DESCRIPTION info is as a large diff against /usr/portage. Applying even one diff per package just doesn't scale, with this large of a number. A lot of them might have useful man-page summary lines, e.g. "xinit - X Window System initializer"
The proposed flags won't work correctly since we can't enforce the USE flags if those libraries are already on the system. xdpyinfo doesn't have features in its autoconfig scripts for enabling/disabling support of the modules. If you'd like to patch configure.ac, that'd be great. It'd have to be accepted upstream first before we'd put it in though.

Alright, we'll see what they say.
Marking UPSTREAM.
Upstream has made the required changes.
Fixed in 1.0.2.
