The RCW is really board dependent. I can imagine some OEMs are using the 
ones from freescale, but most likely they won't fit their boards. For 
example, we have our own RCW repository (although only binary for now) 
for our board. Therefore, wouldn't it be better to have different rcw 
config(s) in the board directories?

TBH I just had a quick look at the package makefile and saw that it 
copies the RCWs to /usr/share. Most likely, you (also?) need them in a 
flash/sdcard image, though.
