My apologies, I updated the MAINTAINER and README files.

No this was not intentional, the combo-layer tool seems to do that. I 
used combo layer because we wanted to pull in the kvm changes so that 
this could be shown as a VM.

In the first pass, there were mostly minor changes to cut this down to 
what was needed for the headless media server. As I moved to 1.3 there 
were more changes that I have made, you can see what's going on in the 
1.3wip branch of meta-dlna. If you want some of those changes in 
meta-guacamayo please take them.

My goal is to make the meta-dlna be more cut down and not require the
as much. If we can accomplish that directly with meta-guacamayo that 
would be awesome.

Right now I am fighting a dbus/rygel segfault.

Sau!
