20 And realistically that's where the DEPEND should be anyways, IMO --
21 appended by the eclass where the function is that uses it. If this
22 means prune_libtool_files() gets separated out of eutils and put in
23 its own eclass (so that all the eutils inheritors don't suddenly need
24 virtual/pkgconfig unnecessarily), then so be it.
