echangelog is the only non-shell/python script, and arguably not useful
anymore. repoman itself has a changelog option, and since the move to
git, we don't commit ChangeLog entries anymore. i would just punt it.
there's also eviewcvs written in perl, but that's also dead now that
we use git, so it should be punted.
that really only leaves three:
- ebump - bash
- ekeyword - python
- imlate - python
why not merge them into a single repo ? you can have a dev/ subdir
for scripts that are more developer oriented and put them behind a
USE=dev flag.
