Hello, all.

Since nowadays udev is bundled within systemd, we start having two
libudev providers: >=sys-apps/systemd-185 and sys-fs/udev. Making
the long story short, I would like to introduce a virtual for libudev
which would pull in either of those two.

There are three USE flags used in conditionals when depending on udev:
- gudev - for glib wrapper on udev,
- hwdb - to pull in hwids,
- static-libs.

The former two were previously provided by 'extras' USE flag,
and the third was unconditional.

I'm attaching an example virtual/libudev which does the job. Sadly,
because of the 'extras' compatibility it's a big ugly conditional.

An alternative would be to provide separate virtual/libudev
and virtual/libgudev; and maybe changing ebuilds not to depend on
[hwids] but rather pull in sys-apps/hwids directly (since that's what
the flag does).

What are you thoughts?
