  more specific question related to my earlier post -- is there any
value whatever in the variables in bitbake's bitbake.conf file of the
form:

  FETCHCOMMAND*
  RESUMECOMMAND*
  UPDATECOMMAND*
  MKTEMP*CMD

nothing seems to use any of those. can they all just be deleted?
certainly, the FETCHCOMMAND* variables have been superseded by the
FETCHCMD* variables, no? i don't know about the remainder of them.
