Hi,

This is the interesting bit of an in-progress branch to purge kdrive from
oe-core.  The commit message for some context:

    xserver-kdrive: remove.
    
    kdrive is effectively unmaintained upstream (it's only kept for Xephyr).
    
    Apart from two headless machines in meta-yocto (patches sent), every BSP I
    looked at (oe-core, meta-intel, meta-oe, meta-ti, meta-smartphone) is using the
    traditional X.org X server.  Changing kdrive to Xorg means an extra ~200kb of
    disk usage but extra features and more importantly continued maintenance.

I hope to finish the branch tomorrow and send it for review.

Ross
