Christopher Larson 0c7720027b oe.types: give the regex type more sane semantics

Currently, if a variable is unset or has an empty value, the regex type
will return a match object which always matches. Not all variable types
will necessarily have the same behavior for handling defaults. I believe
that returning a match object which matches nothing when a variable is
unset is superior to returning one which matches anything, and the user
can always explicitly request anything via '.*', if that's what they
want.

This constructs a null pattern object which will never match, and uses
it when encountering an unset or empty variable (currently, these two
things are one and the same, as maketype is handling the default. we may
well want to shift that logic into the individual types, giving them
more control over default behavior, but currently the behavior is at
least relatively consistent -- no difference between unset and empty
variables).

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.

For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
