I guess the specialness in the gumstix case is several thousand users who might
start using OE if we switch to it as the primary build platform for gumstix. 
Many of those users have AOL-level sophistication.  Many will probably switch
from building themselves to using pre-built .ipkgs, but that will make it even
more important that when they find an .ipkg somewhere, it'll actually work on
their gumstix, including correct libc, etc.
