I fully agree that having some of the code here ought to be in bitbake git
fetcher but I'd like to work on this after this code has been merge onto
OE-Core mostly because this will blocker on newer bitbake version
requirement and some layers are using it but now depending on meta-oe just
because of this class.

Can this be merged and afterwareds I refactor it moving part of this code
onto bitbake? I am not used to bitbake code and I don't have enough time to
learn it in following week or so.
