  Seamonkey and Firefox both have a "jit" USE flag, which I doubt has
anything to do with lua/luajit.  "lua" and "luajit" appear to be
languages.  They should have flags just like fortran and gcj.  It appear
that the default is "-luajit", and "luajit" turns it on.  BTW...

grep ":luajit " /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | wc -l

...gives 17 hits.  It looks like a good candidate for "globalization".
Note the trailing space.  There are 2 for USE flag "luajittex" for
app-text/texlive-core and dev-texlive/texlive-basic
