-Here we DO NOT define the default USE flags, but the so\-called auto\-USE 
-flags.  This rather unknown portage feature activates a USE flag if a 
-specific package is installed and the flag was not explicitly 
-deactivated.  This file contains the associations between USE flags and 
-packages that trigger the auto\-USE feature.  
-
-In other words, if we never put "sdl" or "\-sdl" into our USE, but we 
-have media\-libs/libsdl emerged, then portage automagically sticks "sdl" 
-into our USE for us.

-# media\-libs/libsdl will activate "sdl"
-sdl        media\-libs/libsdl
-# activate tcltk only if we have both
