[OE-core] wanting to clarify HOSTTOOLS and HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL

[Robert P. J. Day]

  again, trying to catch up with new developments, and i want to make
sure i understand these variables. as i read it (and i could be
off-base), HOSTTOOLS represents a list of tools that *must* be
available one way or the other, and any tools listed there are allowed
to be symlinked from the tools available in PATH, is that correct?

  OTOH, HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL represents whitelisted tools that will be
symlinked if they're there, but their absence is not fatal.

  i'm still not totally clear here ... and there is no mention of
these variables in the YP reference manual variables glossary.

  apologies for my confusion.
