Does Ross have a copy of the skeleton or someone else as I would like to take a look at it. Don't think I will be much help writing it as I'm not too familiar with bitbake recipes or classes themselves. Fixing devupstream.bbclass (already integrated into oe-core) to also extend native recipes is a non-trivial engineering effort sadly.
