12 Agreed, but first we would have to walk through the Portage tree and
13 make sure that any ebuild which calls econf can perform seppuku if

18 Once that is finished, we can remove the calls to die() from econf(). If
19 this sounds agreeable to everybody, I'd be happy to submit a few ebuild
20 patches to bugzilla to help out.
