Some people seem to feel uncomfortable with autotools-multilib, because it depends on autotools-utils.
Instead of arguing whether it makes sense or not I'd propose a similar autotools related eclass. I also attach an example conversion of media-libs/libexif (the maintainer wants to keep the changes minimal). Effectively I am only (almost) changing the function names and not the ebuild code. Feel free to propose a different eclass name.
