This file was evidently a "working" file and not included in the
manual at the point Bill left off. The wmat branch, however, had
a load of commits dedicated to this file. Rather than attempt to
replay them all one-by-one, I simply copied the file from the
wmat branch and hand-inserted the changes to make it equal to what
was there. Note also that I re-formatted the file to have the
same formatting standards I use in the YP manuals.

Patch adds support for a $BITBAKE_UI environment variable which allows
to configure the preferred user interface. Although an '-u' option
(which will override the environment variable) exists already, it was
required to specify this option on every invocation of bitbake.
Because user interface is instanciated very early in the program it is
not possible to use bitbake.conf for setting up a default. An
environment variable (which acts in a similar category like $PAGER or
$EDITOR) is a simple way for configuring the default.

Fix [BUGID #593]
The current manual build fails for printing formats which use latex as an
intermediate format. This bug has been reported in multiple locations and I
haven't found a solution posted to any of them.
Using --with-dblatex uses dblatex to make the conversion and successfully
generates the pdf. It adds a dependency on dblatex and its dependencies.

This implements a feature similar to BBCLASSEXTEND, but for generating
multiple versions of a given recipe. For example: BBVERSIONS = "1.0 2.0 git".
In addition to the above, one can utilize [a-b] style patterns, and can have a
:<basever> postfix, which allows you to essentially name the range of
versions. Both the current version and the basever end up in OVERRIDES, and
the basever gets placed into the BPV variable. The default BPV, if none is
specified, is the original PV of the recipe, before bbversions processing.
In this way, you can do things like:
BBVERSIONS = "1.0.[0-6]:1.0.0+
1.0.[7-9]:1.0.7+"
SRC_URI_append_1.0.7+ = "file://some_extra_patch.patch;patch=1"
Or you can create a recipe per range, and name the recipe file as such: nano_1.0.7+.bb.

??= is a lazy, conditional assignment. Whereas a ?= immediately assigns to
the variable if the variable has not yet been set, ??= does not apply the
default assignment until the end of the parse. As a result, the final ??= for
a given variable is used, as opposed to the first as in ?=.
Note that the initial implementation relies upon finalise() to apply the
defaults, so a "bitbake -e" without specifying a recipe will not show the
defaults as set by ??=. Moving application of the default into getVar adds
too large a performance hit. We may want to revisit this later.
