lets say i hope so. I started to do some work into this direction, but my free
time is a little bit limited at the moment. What we currently suffer from is the
problem that OE doesn't have a mechanism to build the packages from the original
sources directly without adding all the included patches to OE manually. I
started to code such a bitbake class, but like mentioned before it takes some
time. Having such a tool it becomes much easier maintaining the packages in OE.

Oh... that document is missing a name. I wrote that, and of course i'll try to
answer questions as good and fast as possible. :-)
