Basically, OE-Classic is largely unmaintained (aside from critical updates to 
the 2011.3-maintenance branch) and should not be used for new work - use OE-
Core for that instead. So you're on the right path already :)

So, the version in master and the danny branch (most recent stable, just 
branched the other day) already includes this. Are you using a different 
branch/release?

Fails how? Can you mention the actual error you're receiving?
