metadata.xml updates examples

Cardoe wrote this mid-afternoon:

So, Diego and I quickly implemented USE flag descriptions for individual packages by using metadata.xml. I wanted to give everyone a concrete example of what we intended and what’s the goal of this project. So, I’ve added USE flag descriptions to HAL’s metadata.xml. To see an example check it out in sources.gentoo.org.

    Wow, these are really nice descriptions for the flags. Good work.

    Why there is no division by package version?

    Sure. You could use the restrict attribute to make specific comments about changes to USE flags between versions. However the comments for those USE flags apply to all versions of HAL.
