[Thomas Bächler]

First of all, this was partially my idea, so I second that such an approach

These should be separate options for sodepends and soprovides. There are 
some reservations against sodepends, but adding soprovides as default 
option should be safe for all uses. The default options array should then be

OPTIONS=(strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman purge soprovides !sodepends)

Also, automatically adding sodepends will be problematic with optdepends.

As for the rest of the patch, I'll let Dan or Allan verify that it will 
be okay in combination with split packages.
