Yes, I agree with Soren. The only place where DEFs don't quite work is 
in said situation. There can always be XCHAT_ or FOOPKG_ quirks for 
packages where non-standard things are popular (For instance 
everything could default to GTK2 and there could be a PREFER_GTK1 or 
a FOO_PREFER_GTK1 for global|local enabling of old gtk1).
