What about changing the meta-toolchain to generate the environment-setup
script? While it's not important to have the script for normal building
of packages, I've found it helpful to be able to do a quick compile of a
test program here or there. Though, I understand that it might be
dangerous since some folks might think the environment-setup creates an
an entire cross building platform for them when they really want to stay
inside OE....
