All the clues rolling in are starting to knit together.

At first, I regarded the "populate_sdk" task as a hack, since it seemed to be expressing something that was naturally a "target" -- not a "task."

Now I see that it is a way to connect an image to a corresponding SDK. That makes a *lot* more sense.
