Yeah, that line is there. What I wanted to say is that if you pull
from git there is no auto.conf file

frans at frans-desktop:~/workspace/openembedded.git$ find | grep auto.conf
frans at frans-desktop:~/workspace/openembedded.git$

So I still feel we do not have an auto.conf (but the user can provide
an auto.conf if (s)he wishes)

PS: I normally set MACHINE in either the environment (as a bash env
var) or in local.conf
