1 while adding support to autotools.eclass for WANT_AUTOCONF=none, i noticed we
2 didnt have a fallback for invalid WANT_AUTOCONF values so i added one ...
3 what i didnt realize is that apparently there are ebuilds in the tree which
4 actually got this wrong (erp!)

6 so if you get a dependency error it's because the ebuild in question is
7 setting the wrong value for WANT_AUTOCONF ... valid values are:
8 none, 2.1, 2.5, latest
9
10 if your ebuild is doing like 2.58 or 2.59 or 2.60 or something, then you
11 should just delete the line and let the default value from autotools.eclass
12 take care of things
