16 These packages are not involved:
17
18 dev-libs/icu ebuilds do not inherit autotools.eclass.
19 An older ebuild (icu-4.8.1.1-r1.ebuild) inherits eutils.eclass only through versionator.eclass.
20
21 app-editors/vim ebuilds do not inherit autotools.eclass, and inherit vim.eclass,
22 which inherits eutils.eclass.
23
24 dev-libs/boost ebuilds do not inherit autotools.eclass, and inherit check-reqs.eclass,
25 flag-o-matic.eclass and versionator.eclass, which inherit eutils.eclass.
