[gentoo-portage-dev] ECONF_EXTRA handling: bug 38618

2005-10-07 Thread Brian Harring
Anyone got a good reason bug 38618 shouldn't go in?

Essentially it's
 ./configure ...
-${EXTRA_ECONF} $@
+$@ ${EXTRA_ECONF}

It allows for users to override ebuild defined configure options, 
potentially shooting themselves in the foot, but in the same token 
they can already shoot themselves in the foot via EXTRA_ECONF...

Since EXTRA_ECONF is all about letting users shoot themselves, I see no
reason not to.
