* adt-manual: Organized building a toolchain installer into a section.Scott Rifenbark2013-08-131-69/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | An improvement to expose the method by which the user gets a toolchain installer. I placed this information in a section of its own rather than having it buried in a note.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Review edits for Build Directory wording.Scott Rifenbark2013-08-132-16/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Did some word-smithing to work around a false statement that implied externalsrc.bbclass needed to be inherited on a recipe-by-recipe basis. This affected the usage section and the glossary definitions for both EXTERNALSRC and EXTERNALSRC_BUILD. Also updated the "B" variable description to be more accurate in the use of the term "Build Directory."
