15 Just put the variable assignment in the file, it is sourced by bash when
16 the ebuild is parsed, so most things that can go in an ebuild can go
17 here. Usually it is used to override settings or set EXTRA_ECONF but you
18 can use it to redefine the ebuild functions. Some people put a custom
19 src_unpack() in here when they want to apply a patch, rather than
20 putting a modified ebuild in an overlay.
