OK, I like that better than the monolith patch I plugged the leak with :-)

I understand I am using the compatibility mode more than the original
intent - and in part I'm doing this on purpose. The "recipe-space"
iterative development model is going to be the most familiar to OE
developers and is the fastest way to prototype changes. We need to
ensure it works well. Once I'm done here, I fully intend to push it into
a proper in-tree scc file - but for now, it makes the most sense in
recipe-space while we tweak it and the patches are under heavy development.

Thanks Bruce!
