This will hopefully be possible in a later version of portage, but alas
not at present.

Rather than add a new flag at present, I've gone with nls (for native
language support). This seemed the simplest answer as most users using
non-english apps will probably have this on anyway.

I've made the change, but haven't unmasked yet to give people a chance
to check whether this breaks anything.
