Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

summary says it all ... useful when we want to do local use flags but want the feature to be enabled by default ...

for example, the USE flag would be 'noblah' but i want the feature to be enabled by default (the configure script suggest as much) so i can just do `use_with !noblah` ... by supporting ! in `use`, `use_with` and `use_enable` and everything else gets it too for free :)

not sure exactly about the patch, ive pondered it a few times and this is the only way i could think of doing it
