15 What about having the dependant ebuild also have the source file for the
16 other in the SRC_URI. Then unpack it somewhere in the work directory and
17 force the ebuild to find the headers there. (Assumed that only headers
18 are needed and not libraries). Basically compiletime only dependencies
19 are not that difficult. It becomes hard with run and compiletime deps.
