It seems that the main problem I was having was that (coincidentally in
light of the earlier gst discussion) the recipe I was trying to build
was unluckily named and being skipped because base.bbclass thought I
wasn't licensed to use it.

The code which detects commerciality is somewhat simple-minded and just
does a straight regex search for ${PN} within ${COMMERCIAL_LICENSE}, so
if your recipe happens to be called "fmp" (for example) it will match
against ffmpeg and you will lose.

I think this has probably just started to bite me because I recently
started using default-distrovars.inc.  Possibly that was a dim plan on
my part.
