I spent some time looking at this again today, and the contrib branch has now 
been updated. Changes are as follows:

 * bitbake.conf and base.bbclass are no longer needed, so you really only need 
bitbake now. Some fixes to some of the fetchers other than git might still be 
necessary however.

 * Only BBPATH now needs to be set; LAYER_UNPACKDIR now defaults to 
${TOPDIR}/layers.

Cheers,
Paul
