This would be helpful for packages where one use-flag needs another enabled to
build.
Tangentially related to bug 238887, but the topic of that bug seems to have
wandered.
This is a special case of automatic use deps, but easier to implement, it seems
to me, since it's all in the same package.

 bug number [cough],

It's interesting that circular RDEPEND happen to be useful as an interim
solution for some cases of bug #238887, but I'm afraid that the approach is
unappealing due to it's hackish nature. So, rather than try to cater to this
special case, I would much rather implement auto-enabling for all kinds of use
deps. It will certainly be more work to implement a general solution, but not
so much that we should be resorting to special case solutions.
