[yocto] potentially confusing intro to what is in an SDK (SDK manual)

[Robert P. J. Day]

  more of the pedantic nitpickery you've all come to expect from me,
but in section 1.1 of SDK Manual (v. 2.2):

"All SDKs consist of the following:

    Cross-Development Toolchain: This toolchain contains a compiler,
    debugger, and various miscellaneous tools.

    Libraries, Headers, and Symbols: The libraries, headers, and
    symbols are specific to the image (i.e. they match the image).

    Environment Setup Script: This *.sh file, once run, sets up the
    cross-development environment by defining variables and preparing
    for SDK use. "

hang on ... that last reference to an ".sh" file is potentially
misleading. the generated SDK itself is bundled into the installation
script (say,
poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-ppce300c3-toolchain-2.2.sh), and
when that's run, what is installed contains, at the top level, the
setup script "environment-setup-ppce300c3-poky-linux" -- there is no
.sh script installed in the SDK installation directory.

  it might be common to create the symlink for convenience:

    environment-setup-ppce300c3-poky-linux -> env.sh

or something like that, but AFAICT, there is no ".sh" setup script in
the SDK installation directory.

  is it possible the author was conflating the installation .sh file,
and the environment setup file?
