I see your point. This GLEP does not require contacting -dev at all 
though. Instead of this eclass I could have abused the db4fix eclass and 
be done with it. The new one has a better name, and sane design. It 
offers functions (and will offer more) that are long due and actually 
help ebuilds using berkeley db.
