Oh, right, I see.  Sorry, I misunderstood the intent of your original
patch.

Well, then, how about making each item be a regex and having:

REQUIRED_DISTRO_FEATURES = "x11|wayland qt|gtk"

or some such?

All that said, before spending too much more time debating the minutiae
of this particular feature, I'd kind of like to get a better
understanding of what problem it's actually solving.  How many recipes
would actually need to use this mechanism and why?
