I agree we should be using gconf, could someone send me the recipe
though? ;-).

You mean disable ssl/gpg in all cases?

If we don't need 0.9.15, lets get rid of it...

Sure. Patches welcome :)

Just to be clear, these are a reflection of what is in OECore today.
These things are good imrovements and  I'm more than happy to change or
remove these entries as needed but they're all further standalone
changes in their own right so I'm not going to hold the patch series on
them.

Cheers,

Richard
