Maybe that explains the problem I'm seeing with the dependency graph when using srctree.
Specifically if my recipe has
	inherit qt4e

Then it doesn't try to run the do_configure before the qt native tools are present.
This of course being expected/desired. However if I have
	inherit srctree qt4e

Then it goes straight to the configure phase without ensuring the dependencies are present.
	bitbake blah
	...
	/home/user/oe/arago-tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/qmake2: No such file or directory

Is this known behavior? Maybe even a workaround exists?
