We're building several images which share a standard parition layout defined in a .wks file and built through the IMAGE_CMD_wic function defined in image_types.bbclass. Because that function looks for ${IMAGE_BASENAME}.${MACHINE}.wks and ${IMAGE_BASENAME}.wks we have to symlink our base .wks to the appropriate IMAGE_BASENAME's for the other images. This is even messier for multiple layers that build on a shared base layer and each define images. It would be really nice if we could define a variable, i.e. in our shared image class, that tells the image generation code where to load a shared .wks file from.
