I wondered this, probably not...

A missing patch I have locally, now committed, oops :)

Don't exist in OE.dev, try running "mtn list unknown".

So these are the only remaining problem and changing the recipe slightly
can solve that.

In my previous mail I mentioned issues with .svn, just for clarity in
that case its not empty directories that cause problems but the .svn
directory itself being copied around by do_unpack. Both this and
the .dummy problem suggest we need a way of ignoring files in do_unpack
though.
