Right, yeah, I noticed that one too a week or so ago and forgot to raise it. I 
actually think this needs to be fixed - meta-oe (at least by previous design) 
is not supposed to depend upon any other layer than OE-Core. I believe the 
dependency is optional though so we should be able to add a PACKAGECONFIG for 
it and default it to disabled. Assuming there is no violent objection and 
nobody else gets there first, I'll volunteer to make this fix.

Cheers,
Paul
