  Ok, as we have issues with commit mails, here's what I'm committing for
bitbake.conf. As discussed, we want "non-zero" defaults just in case,
and I used QVGA defaults, which is consistent with our "smallscreen"
default for GUI_MACHINE_CLASS. This variable in turn is named
inconsistently with the rest of machine vars, so I proposed to rename
it to GUI_MACHINE_CLASS. Finally, I tried to be consistent with
formfactor's var names, so here's BPP, not DEPTH. Feel free to tweak
if needed. I'll proceed with adding these options to machine configs
within couple of days. (And of course I would need help with that.)
