Even now, users can define new features, for example

feature.feature oracle-link : static shared ;
feature.rule oracle-link : oracle-link-properties ;

rule oracle-link-properties ( p )
{
# return 15 additional features, depenging on the property
# passed
}

Here, 'oracle-link-properties' will be called either with 
<oracle-link>static or <oracle-link>dynamic and can add extra properties 
for building main target, depending on that.
