I ran some tests and they showed:

1. I could wipe out all my .bb files and replace them with binary blobs
just by messing up with os.path.join() (oops!).

2. There are no differences to our metadata with this change[1] except
in the exmap-console package when converted for SRCREV (which was how I
originally noticed the problem.

[1] Ignoring things like TIME changes which I worked around.

The second result is probably more useful and I'm therefore going to add
the the fix to bitbake 1.8.8 providing nobody objects.

Cheers,

Richard
