18 Sure, and when *ebuild* requested it instead, then portage will be
19 automagically informed. So yeah, we can implement yet another variable into
20 the eclass, and we can do tons of other magic voodoo about three lines of
21 eclass that noone has ever noticed until today, and the whole thing can be a
22 lot more complex for sure. Sorry, I call this a complete waste of time.
