Good idea, didn't think about using the version as the name or part of it,
that could alleviate the need for the anonymous python snippet I'm using at
the moment.  (Aside: it would be nice if you could set a flag on an override
variable (FOO_arm) and have that flag be pulled over to the main variable
(FOO) at override collapse time, but BitBake does not do it today).
