[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] list-packageconfig-flag.py: add a script to list all PACKAGECONFIG's flags

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi Hongxu,

Great idea! This should be very useful indeed.

Just a few feedback points:

I think the script ought to be called "list-packageconfig-flags" rather than 
"list-packageconfig-flag".

This should say "collect available PACKAGECONFIG flags". The same applies to 
other messages/comments.

So, this is fairly simple and works for most cases; however it would probably 
be a bit more robust if the script used bitbake's own parser to extract the 
flags. The "tinfoil" module should help with this. We can always address this 
in a follow-up patch later on, though - I can certainly show you some examples 
of how to do this or I can do it, whichever you prefer.

Cheers,
Paul
