Only for epatch.

What about the following?
epause
ebeep
ecpu_check
gen_usr_ldscript
draw_line
have_NPTL
get_number_of_jobs
emktemp
egetent
enewuser
enewgroup
edos2unix (which should force a dep on sed btw)
make_desktop_entry
make_session_desktop
domenu
doicon
find_unpackable_files
unpack_pdv (that's rather... ugly)
unpack_makeself
check_license
cdrom_get_cds
cdrom_load_next_cd
cdrom_locate_file_on_cd
strip-linguas
set_arch_to_kernel
set_arch_to_portage
preserve_old_lib
preserve_old_lib_notify
built_with_use
epunt_cxx (spanky, ty for this func btw)
dopamd
newpamd

?

So... an eclass that wants enew(user|group) now deps on patch, w/out a valid 
reason.

You're proving my point for why elibs should exist :)
