I agree. I think that USE_ would have been better left for user-defines,
but that's not how history panned out.

USE_* should be reserved for ports to define, and ports should not have
user-tunable options that begin with USE_ (or, in the ridiculous manner
of q3server-ra3 and utserver-to, DONT_USE_). Port should have all
user-definable settings as WITH_* and WITHOUT_*, and all ports that have
USE_ should be changed. Ermmn, IMO that is.

Here is a list of ports that have user-tunable options that begin with
USE_. Note that this is a really quick and dirty list, and probably has
errors.
