11 I'm just idly thinking here, and I'm sorry if this has already been said
12 better - but I could see some value in an *optional* src_preconfig()
13 function that allows you to run a manual config such as in the make
14 menuconfig case - not required, but if present the ebuild breaks out
15 with the einfo message, then when you go to run emerge again detects the
16 change and carries on. Course as soon as I type this I realize that
17 would require even more finangling since you would want to avoid
18 clobbering with features=clean flags. Not sure of the mechanics on how
19 this is done for the portage emerge process, but even stopping the
20 emerge process for those packages that *must* have a preconfig done
21 would help (are there any though? I can think of one maybe, but not
22 really anything to demand new functionality in portage yet).

24 2 probably pointless cents on the matter,
