Thanks, I was unaware of that script. But not really want I want to do.
We are going to have multiple BSP layers sourced from BSP suppliers, and 
customer specific layers on top of this.
When it comes to testing, we want our test-objects(binary packages) to 
differ depending on which layers appended them,
so that we can easily automate a testing procedure, and reduce possible 
permutations of testobjects.(For unit testing).

Also, when you see bash_4.2-r2+meta-fsl-ppc.0+meta-ti.2_ppce500mc.ipk, 
you directly see who manipulated the contents
of the bash package. And where eventual failures could originate from.
