It allowed us to scale more, and remove redundancy.  For example, you
can have WITH_GTK (that's fine).  But what about GTK2, GTK3, etc.?  With
one macro that allows for listing, we can better accommodate things like
this.  After 4.8 is released, the USE_GNOMENG macro will go away, so
you'll be down to just USE_GNOME=3D <list>.  (And, for backwards
compatibility's sake, WITH_GTK will still be around for a while).

All the usage documentation is also available in bsd.gnomeng.mk as well
as at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/porting.html.
