This is nice.  Can someone tell me why this isn't
the default behavior of bitbake now?  (I'm honestly
not trolling :-)   There must be some good reason
to allow bitbake to be used outside of a build
directory.  Make (which bitbake resembles
in some aspects), is sensitive to it's starting
directory.  Why not bitbake?
