This series aims to clarify the configurating merging, since it is not
necessarily obvious.

The second patch uses this and adds a "notes" string property that can
be used to populate "conf-notes.txt" when bb-layers is used instead of 
oe-template. For this and the "description" property, it's good to be
aware that strings get concatenated when they occur in nested
configurations.
