This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt
to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better
with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to
section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here
is a list of the changes by manual:
Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the
yocto-project-qs.
Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list.
Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE
list.
Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list.
adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new
'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS.
Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and
QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS.
dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how
to configure the most efficent build.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages'
to 'The Build System Packages'.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an
Image' to 'Building Images'.
Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual.
Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website
from the YP QS to the dev-manual.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built
Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and
QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual.
ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'.
Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the
packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the
ref-manual.
Moved the introduction information regarding building an image
along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on
building images.
toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto
Project'.
yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and
removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

files. In my opinion, this is a hole in the docs for this section.
I added a new section titled "Creating a defconfig File" that is a
sub-section of the "Configuring the Kernel" section.
Additionally, I added a brief sentence in the introductory paragraph
to include the fact that this new information exists.
Finally, I included the bitbake command that ensures that the
proper configuration steps are minimally run before a user attempts
to use bitbake to get into menuconfig.
