Hob - BitBake GUI

All,

This series are the current state of the image creator project I have been working on for the past few months.
It's by no means perfect but I'd love to get some review and preferably move development into master, rather than a less public branch.

The first 7 patches are changes to BitBake to be used by the GUI whilst the final patch is a squashed patch of my image creator development tree[1].

Of course, before sending this pull request I ran some final tests and encountered a significant problem with the implementation approach. Images are built by first using the buildTargets command to build all of the target dependencies then creating a recipe file and using the buildFile command to handle the build.
The problem is that if you have a clean build directory, perfectly reasonable with such a tool, the buildFile command does not handle the native dependencies added by the image class.

The alternative I have is to save the image files somewhere within BBPATH, and perhaps suggest the user create a "workspace" layer, and build them with buildTargets. I didn't do this because I'd rather not pollute the users file system without good cause. It may be the only tenable approach though.

Any suggestions here?

Regards,
Joshua
