My big concern with this is that we're teaching lib/oe about bitbake
internals like the layout and existence of those two variables. I think
we need to do this within bitbake, maybe in ast.py:finalize() just
before we fire the RecipeParsed() event.

Having thought more about it, I think we should call this variable
BBINCLUDED since that more accurately reflects its contents.

Cheers,

Richard
