[OE-core] Creating 'wic' image

[Mike Looijmans]

In order to make life easier for people, I was looking into creating images 
with the "wic" tool.

There's just one big piece of documentation lacking: What's the format it 
wants my rootfs and boot files?
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/mega-manual/mega-manual.html

Basically I want an SD card with a FAT boot partition and an ext4 rootfs, and 
"sdimage-bootpart" is pretty close to that.

Without "wic", I build a tar of the rootfs and copy the boot files using a bit 
of shell scripting.

Adding "wic" to IMAGE_FSTYPES just results in an error that I should set 
WKS_FILE but I have no clue as to what file that should point to.

Running wic manually just results in more missing variables that I can't find 
what to specify in them...


Kind regards,
