I'm way behind on my meta-networking stuff but finally getting caught up
and I was wondering if we had run this one to ground.  Martin's already
merged in most of the other moves and I'm also fine with relocating iw,
but I can see the argument in favour of keeping it in meta-oe.  For now
I'm also planning on merging a couple that didn't get picked up already:

   f501ecadb6 strongswan: move to meta-networking
   cdf2bf5654 vsftpd: move from meta-oe to meta-networking and tweak

I'll also pick up the iw one if there's a consensus that moving it is
the right thing (or not a terrible thing) to do.

I think that addresses the full list of relocations from this thread.
