I am sorry to raise this, but your migration of netsurf.eclass into
dev-util/netsurf-buildsystem is not a 1-1 feature copy of the old
eclass.  The new ebuild breaks Prefix.  For example,

  NSSHARED=/usr/share/netsurf-buildsystem

This is a serious regression for Prefix and caught a lot of users
without a warning.  Could you please discuss on this kind of changes in
the mailing list beforehand?

Yours,
Benda
