Several topics in the "Common Tasks" chapter really fit better in
the "Newbie" chapter. I moved these sections out. I also combined
information from the section on submitting changes from the
"Common Tasks" and the "Newbie" chapter to live in the "Newbie"
chapter only.

Added a new section on managing layers. This is a sub-section that

The change to the dev-manual-newbie.xml file was minor. I added
a link anchor for the term "metadata."
The change to the dev-manual-common-tasks.xml was extensive. I have
added an entirely new section on layers called "Understanding and
Using Layers." The new material has several sub-sections.
Information was based on emails from Paul Eggleton.

I renamed the "BitBake Layers" section in the YP Development
Manual to "Understanding and Creating Layers." Renaming the
section broke three cross-references in the YP documentation
manual set. I applied fixes to the references.

The "BitBake Layers" section was grossly mis-positioned. It appeared
in the "Making and Maintaining Changes" section. I have moved the
layer section to the very front of this chapter. It is fundamental
to know about layers and how to create your own custom layers.

Added a new section on building from an external source tree.
This addition was driven by a need through two community members
whose feedback was picked up by Darren.

Throughout the manual there is a specific term to refer to the
YP build directory: "Yocto Project Build Directory." This term
was being loosely referred to and was not consisten in linking to
the actual term definition in the Terms chapter. All this is
fixed.

Paul clarified that it was okay to use the term "temporary source code
location" when talking about where the source code for a package was
located.

Complete re-write to the "Modifying Temporary Source Code" section,
Section 4.4. This strategy now comprises telling the user where
this temporary source code is, how to change it within a Quilt
workflow, and how to change it within a Git workflow.
I consulted with Paul Eggleton quite a bit to come to this conclusion
that the section needed more attention.

I combined the section on changing package source code and
the section on changing package source code with quilt into one
over-arching section named "Modifying Package Source Code."
The section on Quilt was sort of a stand-alone section but Paul
Eggleton suggested that it is a natural follow-on. So I put the
two sections in as sub-sections.

Created a new section called "Configuring the Kernel." This is the
how-to counterpart for the concepts part created in the kernel
manual. The section consists of three sub-sections:
"Using menuconfig", "Creating Config Fragments", and
"Fine-tuning the Kernel Configuration File." Primary source for
information on this section was Bruce Ashfield. He has this section
for review.
