This class points the inheritor, if it is a target,
to directories in the target sysroot, so we want to
be sure the .vapi files are there.

so send it to oe-core and see what they say.
Mark H any comments?

Good catch, I had missed this.

Ya the overrides (class-native) run -after- the rest of the system.  So:

DEPENDS = "foobar"
DEPENDS =+ "x"
DEPENDS_class-native =+ "y"

For "normal" it' would be "x foobar"
For "native" it would be "y"

This is because that system evals and gets:

DEPENDS = "foobar"  (DEPENDS = "foobar")
DEPENDS =+ "x"      (DEPENDS = "x foobar")
DEPENDS_class-native =+ "y"  (DEPENDS_class-native = "y")

invoke 'class-native' override,  DEPENDS = "y"

[Slater, Joseph]

I sent the following a while ago and haven't seen any comments,
but I think it parallels the suggestions made about v1.

The patch has not been put into oe-core master.

You should really have a default value for VALADEPENDS = "", the above 
class override relies on bitbake behaviour which could change.

Thanks
