(just for the case my email got lost, as a reminder)

Since one should not inherit from an eclass conditionally, it would be very nice to have virtualx only depend on x11 if X is in USE.

The tests for dev-lang/R for example need a display but only if it was built with X in USE.

Not any more...

DEPEND="X? ( || ( x11-base/xorg-server virtual/x11 ) )"
IUSE="X"

Closing a really stale bug.
