I agree, I don't know why I had it in conf/layer.conf.  Just
beginner's mistake.

I moved DISTRO to local.conf (changed the existing DISTRO ?= "poky" to
DISTRO ?= "mydistro") and it still works.  But if I remove DISTRO from
conf/distro/mydistro.conf, DISTRO will revert to "poky", even though
it is set to my "mydistro" in local.conf.  So it seems I have to have
it in both places.
