if a BSP has more than one bsp*.yml file (and thus a grp.yml file), it 
should be added to the grp.yml file, see also:

Ok.

I try to not break the old build system, however, I don't add new stuff 
to it. From my point of view the old build system should be removed. The 
major blocking point for the removal is that nobody had the time to 
convert the BSP builder to use the new build system.
