[OE-core] so what's the deal with "..._append +="?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  pretty sure i mentioned this once before but this just looks weird:

$ grep -r "_append +=" *
meta/recipes-support/gmp/gmp_5.0.4.bb:SRC_URI_append += "file://use-includedir.patch \
meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc-package.inc:FILES_${PN}-dev_append += "${bindir}/rpcgen ${libdir}/*_nonshared.a \
meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc-package.inc:FILES_${PN}-staticdev_append += "${libdir}/*.a ${base_libdir}/*.a"
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-lib/libxp_1.0.1.bb:CFLAGS_append += " -I ${S}/include/X11/XprintUtil -I ${S}/include/X11/extensions"
$

  should those be just simple assignments?
