If you update you'll have to switch to the new xml only airframe format

 For now... the whole point of getting makefile out of the airframes
is to allow us to change things without breaking airframes

That is also a benefit of the xml only airframe: It gives us the
possibility to make a (graphical) airframe configuration program

Software in the loop simulation has been tested - Thanx for bringing

ps: you can still continue to have makefile in your airframe, for
developing or tweaking things, but you have to expect that this
makefile might break when we change things.
