Being one of those who found USE_FEATURES a bit too long I feel I need
to cast my vote now: I would go for 'USE' as it is shorter and more
generic than 'FEATURE'. Indeed sets of dependencies could be mentioned
here as well (equivalent of USE_XORG for example) which for me are more
requirements than features. Moreover it is closer to the actual USE_*
variables.

Anyway to broaden the choice I also thought about the following:
COMPULSORY
REQUIRE
REQUISITE
MANDATORY
WANT/WANTED
NEED/NEEDED

But again, 'USE' is fine by me.
