Since the script is heavily tied to bitbake itself, I don't think this
change makes sense. The name is also too generic just to insert into
PATH (dump which cache?).

We could move it within bitbake I guess but I have to ask the question,
how many people really need to run this and is the location therefore a
real problem? Any user needing this can like adjust their PATH or
figure out the right path to the script easily enough?

Cheers,

Richard
