documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-bsp-appendix.xml: Added footnote

Browse Source 
Per Tom Zanussi's suggestion, we added a footnote to the paragraph
instructing the user on build problems for the example.  I don't
have clean fonts in the HTML version of the output.  I am still working
on figuring that out.
