14 The problem is, there's no clean way to imlpement this with ebuilds (and even
15 eclasses). How can I make the kdenetwork ebuild compile a selective list of
16 'children' while only running configure once? Granted, there's emerge
17 - --inject now, but an ebuild is _not_ supposed to be using that. Do you have
18 some specific idea for an implementation in mind?
