[oe] [doc] High level overview.

[David Farning]

I am adding three high-level overview sections to getting started.
Each of these list items will be expanded into a paragraph introducing
the concept and how BB/OE solves the problem.

The first section describes what a development system must be able to do.
The second section describes what a OE developer must be able to define.
The third section describes the Outputs of bb/oe.

The section listed concepts are intentionally redundant because they
will look at the concepts from the three point of view:  What does the
system do, how do we tell the system what to do, what the system
outputs.

Please take a look and let me know if I am missing any big concepts.

thanks
David Farning

      <para>Before we get into the details of installing
<application>BitBake</application> let's step back and look at
      our goals.  As embedded developers we want to create a
specialized Linux <glossterm>distribution</glossterm>
      that will run on our <glossterm>device</glossterm>.
      This requires a number of things from our build system.

          <para>Download Source Files - Grab source files, on the fly,
from upstream projects rather than
          from a central repository</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>Apply Patches - Apply patches to source files which
will enable the compiled binaries
