  I can second that Jamie's site/* and config_info work would very
useful for anyone adding a new target to OE. We just went thru some
implementation details of it (I started this off list to not protract
the merge with ungrounded concerns), and once again see that the
framework Jamie put together is very flexible and ready to cover broad
usecases (for example, site files can be overriden down to a package
level (keyword: if needed)).


  So, please count my voice for near-term merge.
