Unless anyone else pipes up, my local index suggests that this is something 
that hasn't yet been brought up-to-date from OE-Classic.

Assuming nothing else is available you should be able to use this as a base. 
There is a brief guide on the main things that need to be changed when 
updating a recipe from OE-Classic here:

If you do come up with an updated recipe we'd love to have it added to meta-oe 
or some other layer ;)

Cheers,
