While we are at it:

These bconds should be reworked to user proper namespaces. bconds that
are specific a group of packages (like the faac/faad above) should use
a prefix that clarifies their meaning, like codec_faac. package-
specific bconds should probably use the package name as namespace
prefix.

Only general options that affect the distribution as a whole should be
allowed to use 3-letter or 4-letter (actually: non-namespaced)
acronyms.
