25 hmm, qmake doesnt seem to be the perfect example: how do you handle
26 this?
27
28 - install qmake-${abi}
29 - ln -s qmake-${DEFAULT_ABI} qmake
30 - modify eqmake4 to call the right qmake when doing multilib?
31
32 this sounds hackish for a behavior that doesn't make much sense to me
33 (its an upstream problem here); the glxinfo example seems perfectly
34 valid though.
