[OE-core] verifying all necessary OE-related software on your dev host

[Robert P. J. Day]

  assuming all i've done so far is:

$ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core oe-core
$ cd oe-core
$ git clone git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake bitbake

the only thing a beginner might want to do is check that the dev host
has all essential S/W for OE work.  i know that's documented in the
yocto QS guide here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html

is there any automated way to check for this?  is there any OE/bitbake
equivalent to "please check that all necessary commands are
installed"?

  is there anything else at all that a user might want to verify
before starting to build their first image?   nothing leaps to mind,
but i just want to make sure i'm not missing anything.

p.s.  subsequent questions will get more interesting, i promise.
