These are still necessary for building Opie, but I think they really belong in 
palmtop.bbclass in meta-opie, certainly not in oe-core. Unfortunately I just 
checked and a bunch of recipes in meta-opie refer to these without inheriting 
palmtop and will therefore break if these are removed. I want to tidy these up 
but can you give me until next week to do that?

Thanks,
Paul
