Use PACKAGECONFIG to explicitly address nss dependencies rather than

It avoided potential errors while multiple builds shared a common
state_cache.
There are more floating dependencies in qemu.inc, see
http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/56935/

and even this list isn't complete, there is also:
WARN: packages/armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/qemu/qemu/latest lost dependency on  
cairo gdk-pixbuf gnutls gtk+ libvte

Can you please improve it to fix them all?

OK, I will try to fix them as possible as I can.

Drop this patch, wait for V2.
Part of the problem here is that qemu-native has some "floating"
dependencies by design. If the native system has graphics support, qemu
will have too. If it doesn't it won't have. This works out to be quite
useful for people. Some people have headless build machines they don't
want to install X on, equally some have build machines which do have X
and they do want graphical qemu.

How do we support both?
Aren't reproducible builds more important than automagically enabled
graphics support, what if such automagically enabled qemu-native gets
reused from sstate on headless server without graphics support?
I agree there is a problem here. Equally, there is an important use case
which people do use and care about which this patch removes.

We can extend documentation to say that in order to enable graphics
support for qemu-native you need to set
PACKAGECONFIG_pn-qemu-native += "foo bar"
in local.conf (or to remove some to disable it, but enabling explicitly
is imho better because we don't have graphics native support in
ASSUME_PROVIDED).
I think we'll have to do something like this, yes. I'd like to see the
patches adding this documentation to local.conf before we change things
though.

OK, how about add the above documentation as comments in the patch.

or add them to meta-yocto/conf/local.conf.sample.extended or some place else?

And I could not exactly figure out which flags affected the graphics.
