If it's the only consistent solution, either you go for it, compromise, or be contented that it's half-broken. I'm not a fan of the latter 2. Or maybe we can /hopefully/ wait for a non-workaround solution in the future EAPI, which I doubt could be provided. I'm not a developer, but I can volunteer to make some of the changes. I'll just place the packages in a public repo. Just promise me my effort won't go to waste. Doing gradual changes only for every ebuild version bump is not a bad thing either, since that's even what is happening right now. Maybe we can create an eclass to make some changes easier (if applicable and useful), and/or debate whether the use of pkg-config over a simple `use tinfo` test and an `export` is effectively better in this context. -- konsolebox
