So my point is, I don't think it can be simply dismissed as ABI nonsense

what about making them build what you want depending on useflags?
Aye, for the implementation flavours that's probably the way to go once
we have use-deps. We'll have to hold off on multiple versions of the
same compiler though.
It might get a bit hairy though :-)
DEPEND="ghc? ( dev-haskell/foo @ ghc )
hugs? ( dev-haskell/foo @ hugs )
yhc? ( dev-haskell/foo @ yhc )
jhc? ( dev-haskell/foo @ jhc )"
(I've not looked up what the use-dep syntax is, I'm just guessing)
as now, you can handle that with an eclass that takes deps, checks those
deps with certain use if the use has been enabled and dies if those
criterions aren't meet (asking you to falling back to hc-updater to keep
those applications in shape)
pretty hacky and itchy but that's probably the best you can do w/out
use-deps. (PS can you slot on use now?)
