[oe] Getting Started -Makefile

[Philip Balister]

Make reads it's behavior from a Makefile.

Bitbake contains specific behaviors and reads some configuration from disk.

I don't think they are very similar. I kind of like not caring where I 
run bitbake from and being able to switch build trees by changing the 
environment.

Although I do see some merits to Tim's question, especially if it solves 
real-world problems.  (I mean really solve, not just mask)
