Why would it require ebuild changes?
src_compile() currently does config + compile
src_configure() does configure, src_compile() does compile. If the
ebuild does both and configs in both then - duh - shoot the ebuild
maintainer!
All that needs to be added to the ebuild proggy is
if [[ $( type -t src_configure ) == "function" ]]; then
src_configure
elif [[ ${args} == "configure" ]]; then
ewarn "No configure function in ebuild!"
fi
src_compile
ebuilds could be changed over time - unless I'm missing something basic
here ..
