Is there any chance of updating git in LTIB?  The version in git is 
really old compared to current versions distributed with Ubuntu, and it 
causes problems when trying to use git to pull out branches of a 
packages while building (i.e. building a package from an SCM as opposed 
to from tarball/patches).

Also bison and flex in LTIB are also quite old and cause problems when 
building hostapd and libnl-2.0 to bring up soft AP wireless systems...

Granted I know I'm in a breadline begging for toast, but how can I teach 
ltib to remove a host package if its no longer called out for in 
config/userspace/ltib.preconfig? Then it should be relatively easy to 
disable flex/bison and add them to pre_install_deps, remove 
.host_wait_warning* and the next "./ltib" should clean things up in 
/opt/ltib/user/bin...

Thanks in advance!
