Hi, |

This is easily achievable through eclasses. (Read |
13 |
/usr/portage/eclass/doc/eclass-howto.*). Now that the KDE eclasses have |
14 |
stabilized and are more or less complete, I'm thinking about maybe writing a |
15 |
gnu.eclass for standard configure/make/make install-cycle ebuilds that will |
16 |
inherit base.eclass and add things like std. configure options. |
