I did limited testing with this, and it was fine to upgrade on an existing 
device.  (I only checked on an IA32 qemux86-64 system.)

One thing I did forget to note in this message.  If you are NOT using 
OEBasicHash, then libzypp/zypper needs to be manually rerun.  The underlying 
interface for a few thing has changed and a recompile is necessary -- OE-core 
doesn't realize it needs to rebuild.  (OEBasicHash fixes that because it sees we 
require RPM, and RPM changed, so we need to rebuild.)
