I recall a series of discussions some months ago regarding the topic of 
making OE an easier tool for other distro developers, companies, or 
individuals to use.  Requiring a bitbake upgrade to accommodate a 
single-line in a single recipe that can easily be expressed in a fashion 
compatible with the existing bitbake versions installed, well that just
