As yet to code doesn't support it but it could be extended to quite
easily.

There are several things in that function I don't like, I found at least
one bitbake bug (exposure of the defaultval flag) and I think bitbake
itself should have some kind of appendVar() function...

So consider that code a starting point, not a finished end result :)
