This small patch introduces a a very simple and basic way to script
the combo-layer conf file. With that a combo can be shared with no
need to change its config - associated to the use of environment
variables for example.
*Similar* to bitbake it considers every value starting with @ to be
a python script. So local_repo could be easily configured as:
[bitbake]
local_repo = @os.getenv("LOCAL_REPO_DIR") + "/bitbake"
or any more sophisticated python syntax.
This version updates the config file description so users can be
aware of.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
