[yocto] worth adding PREMIRRORS_prepend note to QS guide?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  just starting to go thru the thread regarding the QS guide and i
have to agree that there's probably too much lead-in when the people
reading the QS guide are probably competent enough to just want the
recipe, so it should be shorter.

  having said that, i think there is a note that should be *added*,
and that's telling users how to add something like this to their
local.conf:

PREMIRRORS_prepend = "\
git://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n \
svn://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n \
cvs://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n \
ftp://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n \
http://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n \
https://.*/.* file:///home/rpjday/dl/ \n"

  if people are showing up at yocto having worked with build systems
like OE and angstrom, they probably already have a sizable directory
of tarballs they can take advantage of, but the QS guide gives them no
advice on how to do that.

  i think a note on how to do that would be useful.  experienced users
would immediately realize its value and take advantage of it, while
users without that kind of background would realize it doesn't apply
to them, skip it and carry on.

  thoughts?  anyway, i'm about to do another pass thru the QS guide so
prepare for pedantry.
