Not really. I'm using Ed Catmur's bashrc, and his post_src_unpack hook |
| 10 |
for /etc/portage/patches/ can detect when running autotools is needed: |

Sure, this detection (based on what files are modified) may not work |
| 15 |
in all cases. And when it does, then autotools may fail too (basically |
| 16 |
wherever an ebuild writer would have needed to do do more than just |
| 17 |
"inherit autotools" before running "eautofoo"). But it's still pretty cool. |
