USE flag asdf with a description of 'Add support for "asdf"' isn't super helpful when asdf is an unknown acronym. This patch notes that use flags enable PHP extensions and calls them by the names given in the php documentation, so it should making Googling them easier.

Just something I noticed. I don't feel super strongly about this, so feel free to WONTFIX if you don't care.

These all look like improvements to me. I added some more <pkg> tags too for the ones that pull in dependencies.
