What is the best option for adding all of these and compiling? As far as I know, you have to do one of the following:

1) Use a fetch that fetches a tarball with all your source, or a repo with all of your source
2) Use a million-line long SRC_URI assignment to include every file that your application uses.

Is there a third (or fourth) option that I may have missed?

(1) is definitely my recommendation, separate the application development from the recipe to build the application.
