The VLC ebuilds have "screen" in IUSE, but do nothing with it, while the configure script offers this option:

  --enable-screen         Screen capture support (default enabled)

So my idea is that "$(use_enable screen)" should be added to the ebuilds.

Good call, I wonder if I did remove the $(use_enable) for any reason, or I simply forgot :|

Give me some time and I'll try to see, on a first look, I'd rather not put it as an useflag and simply leave it enabled by default, unless someone can give me a reason why people would like to disable that :)

Thanks!
I'd prefer to have the choice to disable it if I ever wanted to, although I really can't imagine right now why I ever wanted to do that. :-) Perhaps reverse the logic and make it a "noscreen" USE flag?

Also, could you take a look at the NLS part of the ebuild? "nls" sits there idly in IUSE either, and to me it doesn't look like anything is being done with it. If you wish, I can open a new bug for it, or rather, just rename this one.

Took me a while, but now it's fixed. As there's no particular reason not to enable screen support, I've left it enabled by default.
