Just to wrap this up, I was suggesting he take a single recipe from 
meta-oe, bring it into his own layer and adapt it to fit the Yocto build 
environment.

I would be interested to know, how Yocto and OE are working together. Is 
the aim of the game to merge features upstream to OE and then on the 
back of that packages in meta-oe will be easier to transfer into a Yocto 
layer? I try to keep on top of the OE mailing lists but as I'm sure you 
know they're much higher volume than this list and are often solely 
patch based rather than discussion.

Cheers,
Jack.
