David brought up a good point on IRC about packages that set
INCOMPAT_*, which would lead to IS_* switching between yes and no
within a dependency tree and that could potentially be painful.
So my alternative proposal is to make a distinction between:
_INCOMPAT_*: Global (usually per-OPSYS) setting, sets IS_*=no
and
INCOMPAT_*: Per-package setting, sets USE_*=no
I'll try and cook up a patch and do some bulk testing over the next
week or so.
