It would reduce the overhead of
	USE_GMAKE=	yes
	USE_GNUCONFIGURE=	yes
	USE_REINPLACE=	yes
	USE_BZIP2=	yes
	USE_THISANDTHAT=	yes

into

	USE_COMPONENTS=	gmake gnu-configure reinplace bzip2 thisandthat

If you later on obsolete USE_BZIP2 (for whatever reason), all you
have to do is add a check for 'bzip2' in the components handling
and you know immediatly when somebody is using that obsolete option.

At least that's what I understoof from it :-)
