Okay, I'll send a patch for that presently.

There's also a bunch of historical Opie stuff which is currently getting
exported globally:

export QTDIR = "${STAGING_DIR_HOST}/qt2"
export QPEDIR = "${STAGING_DIR_HOST}"
export OPIEDIR = "${STAGING_DIR_HOST}"
export palmtopdir = "${libdir}/opie"
export palmqtdir = "${palmtopdir}"

Paul, do you know if these variables are still necessary, whether they
all need to be exported, and/or whether they could go in some opie class
rather than bitbake.conf?
