[yocto] How to copy recipe and have different target names

[Brian Smucker]

Andrea,

Thanks for your reply.

In my case, the difference in the two recipes is quite minimal: a 
different defconfig and a modified busybox.inc.

Generating the altered recipe is not my question.

My question is, now that I have two overlayed recipes for busybox, the 
standard and the custom, how can I build them both as separate targets?

Thanks,

Brian
