This should be quite easy, but Ill have to discuss with mickey and other
OE devs so we get this right hopefully first time. Making it openmoko
specific is the easiest. But I like the idea of devices classes with sub 
devices.

Yes that is current OE policy. You can edit openmoko.conf to enable 
autorev (with a bitbake patch) which will always use the latest SVN for 
most stuff. Thomas is currently running like this.

I plan when I get build machine setup to rung autorev and normal build 
in parrallel so its quick and easy to bump svn revs.
