[yocto] [RFC] Blubber, a tool to set up yocto/poky projects easily

[Vali Cobelea]

Hi Josef,

Looks ok at a first look, but my first suggestion would be to start 
using the "is" operator instead of "==" when it comes to comparing strings.
Otherwise using your way with "==" will crash if any of the variables 
(those "sys.argv[]") are None (void).


Best regards,
Vali
