Where you have:

  bb.error('No recipes available for:\n%s' % '\n'.join(appendlines))

this would become something like:

  msg = 'No recipes available for:\n%s' % '\n'.join(appendlines)
  if d.getVar("BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY", False):
     bb.warn(msg)
  else:
     bb.fatal(msg)

which means we can have a strong default but advanced
users/distros/whoever can avoid this.

Cheers,

Richard
