Maybe it would be better to introduce EGLIBC_FEATURES and
BUSYBOX_FEATURES, possibly presetting some values with options already
present in DISTRO_FEATURES.

Now it seems to be possible to specify both ipv6 and noipv6, which seems
inintuitive to me. It's not defined, which one would take precedence
over the other, or whether such conflicts could be catched to display an
error message.

Also, as an example, nobsd's name doesn't contain an implicit
relationship to eglibc, so one might think that it would affect other
packages as well.
