2012-03-23documentation/bsp-guide/bsp.xml: Patch applied for LicensingTom Zanussi
"The LICENSE_FLAGS mechanism can now be used to meet the special license requirements needed by some BSPs. Update the documentation to reflect the current BSP licensing mechanisms. Also add a new blurb about the time-limited kernel." - Tom Zanussi I applied this patch verbatim and will check and clean up text as needed.

2012-03-23documentation/adt-manual/style.css: Added new style for Note headingsScott Rifenbark
The style for the note, caution, warning, and tip headings was a bit over-bearing. Feedback from the community indicated that those words needed to be in a smaller, less noticeable font. I created the style so that the font's size is about half of what it was and I also changed the color to match the other headings.

2012-03-23documentation: Updates for [YOCTO #1717].Scott Rifenbark
Minor edits to the BSP Guide, the Development Manual, and the Kernel Manual to address [YOCTO #1717], which noted confusion over the kernel manual when a user was trying to find kernel configuration information. The fix for this bug involved several areas. I had previously created a new section called "Kernel Configuration" in the kernel manual and "Configuring the Kernel" in the YP Development manual. There were several rounds of feedback from Bruce Ashfield. This commit represents the final touches on the three manuals to address the bug.

I tried to implement some comments by Richard on the B glossary entry and the externalsrc.bbclass section. The comments were a bit confusing to me but the gist of it was I mis-interpreted Richard's comments on supporting separate directories for B and S. I had indicated that autotools-based recipes did this by default, which was wrong. What was confusing to me is where the comments should be. I ended up putting them in both areas of the reference manual.
