To be honest, I don't particularly like autotools-utils, I tend to consider it a useless bloat. However, Michal's work on autotools-multilib is IMHO the right thing to do: If you use the autotools-utils syntax then it's trivial to support multilib without useless duplication of code. I still believe such an eclass as the one you propose is useful, except it's not for autotools (at best temporary for broken autotools based build systems): For example, I have no clue how to do multilib with waf-based build systems without going the 'copy $S and run the usual src_* phases in each directory for each ABI', which is what your eclass is abstracting I think.
