This looked okay, but when put to a practical test, I noticed that this did 
not work at all. The GITPKGV variable is not set when building recipes, 
resulting in the literal string ${GITPKGV} appearing in version numbers of 
packages that try to use it.

It does work when I add this line to local.conf, but apparently bitbake.conf 
never actually gets parsed?
