Why not just write one decent script instead of 3+ forks?

if [ "${MACHINE}" = "spitz" ]; then
    cp gnu-tar ${IMAGE_NAME}-installkit/
fi

etc.

This is probably suitable material for a do_deploy image.bbclass task.
The guts of the task can live in the machine specific files (such as the
zaurus common file) as a function added into the task by some new
variable. Does that seem reasonable?
