Given that we're soon to have a massive reworking of the ports tree
(I dunno, I'm ill for 72 hours and the whole world changes :), and given
that GNOME 1.4 is likely to look a lot different than 1.2 (we're probably
going to have two metaports, one containing all the basic functionality,
and the other containing a bunch of "well-used" applications), I suggest
that for now we go ahead with the singular USE_GNOME.

It can always be fine-tuned later -- the important bit is to get the
basic framework into the tree, instead of just sitting in Jeremy's tree
(and my scratch tree, on occasion).

Go for it. :)
