Thanks for pursuing this annoying issue. I like the concept of having a special
variable for the directory. The advantage is that the code doesn't rely on a
specific directory structure.

Now the patch fails to apply upon d90c2ab "wic-img: allow wic to find bitbake
binary", submitted shortly before yours. Looking at both together, I realize
that deriving the ISARROOT equivalent from SCRIPTSDIR makes it rely on the
directory structure again.

One possibilty would be to introduce both SCRIPTSDIR and the ISARROOT
equivalent (calling it e.g. ISARDIR). What do you think?

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
