I know, but it doesn't work in this case.  In short: doesn't work :P  In 
long: This is a dual ebuild (can be used as live as well as regular) for 
app-misc/mc, and mc really needs its own autogen.sh; it does weird stuff 
in there, much more than what eautoreconf does.

Thanks.  What's the default eclass of ebuilds that don't have any 
"inherit" line in them?
