This looks pretty cool.  I've been thinking for a while that it would be
nice to eliminate /usr for embedded distros such as micro (and maybe
minimal).  That separation is basically just a waste of time and space
on those kinds of devices.

I'm not quite sure either but I think the recipes should probably always
be using ${blah}, as you've done.  I don't remember now why I introduced
${layout_blah} into busybox.bb in the first place but I suspect it was
probably an attempt to work around some kind of Qt and/or MythTV-related
path lossage.
