I'd much rather have portage handle this for me as well.
Unfortunately, the last mail I see about multilib-portage is from two
months ago. If it were in EAPI 5, I'd be happy to wait for it. If it
even looked like it were progressing, I might wait. But, as you know,
gentoo-dev is where ideas go to die.
As far as ebuild conversions go, this is really simple.

That seems like a reasonable request. Let me re-read the previously
mentioned thread and get back to you.
