Hello Adriaan,

Thanks for notice, I will send a fix for missing space.

I'm also not satisfied with ":remove" setting but don't see better solution.
In general, it's all about Bitbake ignoring :remove overrides during getVar
with expand=False (but taking care about :append overrides), which makes us
use such a hack.
