So, it seems that the new eselect tool is not backward compatible with
previous approaches, which is in my opinion not a good idea. A user might
have mixed x86 and ~x86 packages installed and therefore some of them uses
old *-config scripts and others your new eselect tool. In such a situation
there is no convenient method to switch between libraries...

That is of course my point of view, from the user's perspective.
