    This is a partial revert of aa03004ace2fabb135a6208ef8c2d2b312aa7b0b. The
    approach that was taken leads to disagreement and the change was pushed
    too early. DISTRO_PR is going to say and will be used inside the package
    creation. There will be more disucssion on the list about where to continue
    from here.

    Allow a distribution to globally bump the PR of every package
    this is useful when there was a change in the toolchain and
    every package is going to be different.

    find packages/ \( -name '*.bb' -or -name '*.inc' \) -exec sed -i s/"^PR="/"FILE_PR ="/ {} \;
    find packages/ \( -name '*.bb' -or -name '*.inc' \) -exec sed -i s/"^PR ="/"FILE_PR ="/ {} \;

* this is not a complete list
* this still doesn't fix the pkg_postinst() type of bugs

    Instead of using "echo -e" we simply use printf. printf doesn't add a newline
    by default. So some places needed an extra \n in their string.
    Most of the change was done by hand, so please carefully review. This bug was
    spotted when trying to compile python-pyqt on my ubuntu hardy system.

     and 'e7740c0d7a5efb0923be37acdf70db5b0e1bad44'

* Based on Marek Vasut's patch at #1961.
