Built in or not .. it's all the same. Put the config items you want into a .cfg
file of the name of your choice.

In the layer of your choice, create a linux-yocto_2.6.37.bbappend file,
and list the .cfg file on the SRC_URI (just like you would any patch or other
source file). Those config items will be added to the board after the built in
options and will override anything that was previously set.

If you were working with a local git repository, you could commit the change
directly to the tree .. but it doesn't sound like you are working in that model.

Cheers,

Bruce
