Basically you replace autotools-utils with default phase functions and/or econf "${myeconfargs[@]}" or alike. In case of wine, the only usage seems to be 'autotools-utils_src_prepare' which goes straight to 'default'. For 9999, you also 'inherit autotools' and run eautoreconf explicitly. -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
