documentation/adt-manual/adt-prepare.xml: Updated for building tcf-agent 

The YP only ships one pre-built image that has the tcf-agent built
into it - core-image-sato-sdk.  There are a couple methods that exist
to create images that do not normally have this agent so that they
will have it.  I updated the "Getting the Images" section to
contain those steps.  Lianhao and Jessica Zhang were the technical
resources for these changes.  These changes are the first draft.

The Yocto Project provides basic kernel and filesystem images for several
architectures (<filename>x86</filename>, <filename>x86-64</filename>,
<filename>mips</filename>, <filename>powerpc</filename>, and <filename>arm</filename>)
that you can use unaltered in the QEMU emulator.
These kernel images reside in the Yocto Project release
area - <ulink url='http://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/yocto-1.1/machines/'></ulink>
and are ideal for experimentation within Yocto Project.</para>
<para>If you plan on remotely deploying and debugging your application from within the
Eclipse IDE, you must have an image that contains the Yocto Target Communication
Framework (TCF) agent (<filename>tcf-agent</filename>), which is the
<filename>core-image-sato-sdk</filename> image.

<para>
If you plan on remotely deploying and debugging your application from within the
Eclipse IDE, you must have an image that contains the Yocto Target Communication
Framework (TCF) agent (<filename>tcf-agent</filename>).
By default, the Yocto Project provides only one pre-built image that contains the
<filename>tcf-agent</filename>.
And, that image is <filename>core-image-sato-sdk</filename>.
</para>
<para>
If you want to use a different image type that contains the <filename>tcf-agent</filename>,
you can do so one of two ways:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Modify the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> configuration in
the Yocto Project build directory and then rebuild the image.
With this method you need to modify the <filename>EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES</filename>
variable to have the value of "tools-debug" before rebuilding the image.
Once the image is rebuilt, the <filename>tcf-agent</filename> will be included
in the image and is launched automatically after the boot.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Manually build the <filename>tcf-agent</filename>.
To build the agent, follow these steps:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>Be sure the ADT is installed as described in the
"<link linkend='installing-the-adt'>Installing the ADT</link>" section.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Set up the cross-development environment as described in the
"<link linkend='setting-up-the-cross-development-environment'>Setting
Up the Cross-Development Environment</link>" section.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Get the <filename>tcf-agent</filename> source code, which is
stored using the Subversion SCM, using the following command:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ svn checkout svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/dsdp/org.eclipse.tm.tcf/trunk/agent \
&lt;-r #rev_number&gt;
</literallayout></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Modify the <filename>Makefile.inc</filename> file
for the cross-compilation environment by setting the
<filename>OPSYS</filename> and <filename>MACHINE</filename>
variables according to your target.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Use the cross-development tools to build the
<filename>tcf-agent</filename>.
Before you "Make" the file, be sure your cross-tools are set up first.
See the "<link linkend='makefile-based-projects'>Makefile-Based Projects</link>"
section for information on how to make sure the cross-tools are set up
correctly.</para>
<para>If the build is successful, the <filename>tcf-agent</filename> output will
