yeah! that sounds good, and is definitely better than having to patch
Makefiles from within ebuilds. (like in line21 of maxlib-9999
http://pd-overlay.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pd-overlay/pd-overlay/media-plugins/maxlib/maxlib-9999.ebuild?revision=97&view=markup
)

I can also help in fixing Makefiles, e.g. by collecting fixes, patches
and sed oneliners from our ebuilds

I also would definitely prefer using your build system, since
everything resides in Makefiles, and consequentially everything is
less error-prone.

I am making an all-in-one pd-extended ebuild, for testing all the
(supported) externals, wich is as simple as writing:

# USE="oscx maxlib zexy" emerge =media-sound/pd-extended-9999

explanation: here I used USE flags to select which externals to
compile. generally those flags enable configure switches or compile
time features.
I used them to make everything fit into one ebuild, but if we like
having many separate ebuilds, it is very easy to split it up.

here is the actual ebuild, just in case you want to review how I did
use your build system:
http://pd-overlay.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pd-overlay/pd-overlay/media-sound/pd-extended/pd-extended-9999.ebuild?view=markup
(also submitting it to the gentoo-people's attention)
