Sorry, but I think I cope well enough on xine-lib (which is a kinda strange package with many arch differences), and I don't really spend much time on the ebuild (or Gentoo maintenance) anymore for it, after cleaning it up one time. It required time but it was feasible, or I wouldn't be able to do it.
