converting to a "how-to" manual. I have moved this section to the

Moving the section affected several things. Three figures that where

adding them to the ref-manual.
The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual

the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made.

The ref-manual needs expansion for the old "closer-look" chapter.
This chapter previously held a detailed look at what happens when
a user uses the YP to develop something. Now, the chapter needs
to also contain YP development environment concepts (e.g. open-
source philosophy, etc.), which are coming from the dev-manual.
Because of this, I renamed the "closer-look.xml" chapter to be
"ref-development-environment.xml". I also renamed the larger
section that was formerly the entire chapter into its own section
named "Development Concepts".
Both these changes caused a few links to break. I fixed all the
links from within the various manuals so they would find appropriate
targets.
I did some re-writing for introductory material to introduce the new
chapter and the section on "Development Concepts".
A new file ("ref-development-environment.xml") was added by basically
renaming the "closer-look.xml" chapter. And, the tracking for
"closer-look.xml" was deleted.

Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports
recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific
as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows:
dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed
to support the new functionality.
ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of
tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation".
ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section.
ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for
build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks
down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage)
the sysroot.
ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot
task in the task chapter.
ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the
SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable.
In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount
of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.
