meta-aws duplication #116

You may be aware there is an AWS maintained meta-layer which contains pretty much all of the same AWS related recipes as this layer: https://github.com/aws/meta-aws

As recent contributors to these recipes I would like your insights and thoughts on whether to keep maintaining the recipes in this layer alongside the "official" AWS layer or remove them from here and direct people to meta-aws.

Personally I have put a lot of effort into fixing packaging problems with the AWS libraries such as building both static and shared libs and also making packages which provide wrappers to C libraries actually depend and compile against them rather than pulling everything down in submodules and creating a mess on the target. All of this would need contributing or discussing with the meta-aws maintainers.

If anyone has tried integrating meta-aws into their builds or has any other thoughts on this I am happy to hear them.

Thanks in advance.
