For PHP5, there is now a truly frightening number of USE flags. 98 of
them to be exact.

We've had requests for some of the plethora of binary-only databases
that PHP can use, so I'm looking at doing them right.

This is the list of use flags for things we support with PHP, but no
packages are yet available for. I've tried to compile a list of what arches the
upstream supports, and if the various arches have no objections, I'm going to
use.mask each of the flags on the unsupported arches. AMD64 is a question
however, as in theory the x86 packages should run there yes? If so, should it
be masked for them or not? (I'm thinking not, but just double checking).

applications with limited binary availablity, and supported arches

interbase
mnogosearch
sapdb
mcve
msession

qdbm		

I'm looking at ebuilds for mcve, msession, msql, qdbm presently so those will
probably be supported in the tree sometime in the next month.
