Scott Rifenbark 62907f76bc documentation: More information about DL_DIR added.

The information surrounding the central download directory was
pretty scant.  Jim Abernathy pointed this out in an email sent to
me.  As a start, I have added quite a bit more information to
the glossary description for DL_DIR.  Part of that added information
is a pointer to the FAQ entry that describes exactly how the
build system gets source files.  Then, in the YP Development Manual
in the section that introduces the build process, I added several
references to various variables that are set in the local.conf
file prior to kicking off the build.

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:
