8 No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about something to help an
9 ebuild writer. If I'm emerging my newly written ebuild and it works, I
10 still may have missed a few build dependencies. This situation would
11 probably result in a lot of ebuilds with incomplete build dependencies
12 and a lot of work for the cross-compiling people. By using a tool like
13 I described, I can see what I still need to add to the list.
