I know the policy, but sometimes upstream does not want user CFLAGS,
zsnes developers will remove support for Gentoo hosts from their bug
reports if i remove custom-cflags use and also mplayer.

Since some exceptions exists, i think we can globalize the USE without
any problem (with local USE the problem is the same, anyone can create a
port with custom-cflags local USE)
