For example purposes. Here is a snippet from a recipe which can be made simpler
using BPN/BP:

This is from xalan-j_2.7.1.bb when no BPN is available:

SRC_URI = "\
    http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/${PN}/${PN}_2_7_1-src.tar.gz \
    http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/bsf/source/bsf-src-2.4.0.tar.gz \
    "

S = "${WORKDIR}/${PN}_2_7_1"

The corresponding xalan-j-native would either need to redefine SRC_URI and S or
the non -native recipe had to use "xalan-j" instead of ${PN}.

With my patch applied I would just set everything to:

SRC_URI = "\
    http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/${BPN}/${BPN}_2_7_1-src.tar.gz \
    http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/bsf/source/bsf-src-2.4.0.tar.gz \
    "

S = "${WORKDIR}/${BPN}_2_7_1"

and no further adjustement in the corresponding -native recipe.

As you see the BP is especially handy when bitbake.conf's default for S
(${WORKDIR}/${BP}) is correct for your software because then you do not need to
fumble with S in both recipes.
