Hi, Greg!

It doesn't seem quite right to me that pkgsrc allows putting both a
language standard and features in USE_CXX_FEATURES.  For example:

  USE_CXX_FEATURES= c++17 filesystem

If the standard is supposed to have the feature, then listing the
feature seems redundant.  It seems that one of the following would be
better:

1. Allow USE_CXX_FEATURES to contain either one standard or one or more
   features, but not both.

2. Add USE_CXX_STD that can be set to one standard, and allow
   USE_CXX_FEATURES to contain only features, not a standard.  For
   example:

     USE_CXX_STD= c++17
