Indeed, that does work, but only for the first time of if you specify TEMPLATECONF.

I often have build trees that live for a very long time (think months) and I'll
do something like this:
  TEMPLATECONF=my-layer/conf . ${POKY}/oe-init-build-env <somedir>
then later, e.g. after a reboot of my build host, I do just this:
  . ${POKY}/oe-init-build-env <somedir>
This renews the build setting for that setup just fine, but in this case, I'll
get the default "conf-notes.txt", not my layer specific ones.
