Someone asked me at some point why we had revisions in a common file
rather than in the recipes. I've now remembered why this was necessary.
The reason was that you could not set a PREFERRED_VERSION of a recipe
using a SRCREV unless the SRCREV was in the configuration space rather
than in the recipe context.

Now we have the '%' character in PREFERRED_VERSION strings this becomes
much less of an issue.

Please beware of moving anything used in a PREFERRED_VERSION string
though.

Cheers,

Richard
