I'm applying a small set of patches to claws-mail, and currently I have to do that through ugly-and-painful environment overrides in Portage. Please add support for one of user-patch-applying eclasses to the ebuild. Preferably that would be autotools-utils.eclass because it is able to run eautoreconf automatically after my patches are applied. Alternatively, base.eclass would be a little helpful too but I'd still have to override the env to get autoreconf done.
Michal, do it yourself as you can directly test the functionality. Are the patches relevant for upstream? I could forward them.

Ok, I'll apply a patch in a sec so you could say if you're ok with it. > Are the patches relevant for upstream? I could forward them. I'll send them myself as soon as the first patchset is ready and tested. But thanks.
Created attachment 298925 [details, diff] Use autotools-utils -- suport user patches with autoreconf. Fixes:
Reviewed and ok, apply if you wish.
Committed. I'd suggest also removing USE=gnutls in favor of USE=ssl. The usual assumption is that the latter means 'enable any SSL support', and the former is used only when there is more than one provider.
