Well, I verified that e-wm started in beagleboard-demo-image in a build 
from scratch and in an upgraded images 2 days ago, so any problems those 
3 patches were supposed to fix weren't that critical.
*After* those 3 patches I have a broken build and broken upgrade paths, 
while *before* things were working for me.

I actually tested the changes I made for build from scratch as well as 
upgrading an image. While upgrading I actually noticed the ecore bug 
which was present. I could have revert the SRCREV bump, but I went ahead 
and fixed it. So you can see why I get annoyed that a few days later it 
gets broken again by the same person.

regards,

Koen
