[yocto] Managing multiple builds

[Mike Looijmans]

Two products sounds like two machines. Just create a machine.conf for each 
product (even if they use similar hardware), then you don't need overrides 
elsewhere.

OE/Yocto is smart enough to figure out what needs to be (re)built. Some OE 
projects build the same image(s) for over 40 machines (and counting)...
