Just in case, if we will provide working autofoo scripts (patches or etc) for 
some
package, that keeps in general same behaviour as original has - will you
apply them?

I'm speaking now about so called 'automagic', when particular packages
(including core ones, like ecore or eina) switching off/on some features
depending on existence of some packages and user can't explicitelly
request or disable this checks and builds.

Also, there is a problem with 'e' - as you've merged most of usefull modules 
inside
e itself, now it is very difficult to switch off/on some module (you
will be forced to rebuild whole e to get just one module additional). If
we will provide autofoo scripts with recursive configures, that will
allow to fetch and build single module without e itself, while keeping
possibility of controlling build options for whole e - will you accept
this, or you will say "it may break someday, current scheme is working,
let's not change it, as we don't want to test your new scripts"?
