I guess it depends on what you mean by "personal content". Certain settings 
are really part of distro policy and if you're finding that you're setting them 
all the time for all of the builds that you're doing, it would make more sense 
to create a distro layer that sets them - then it's simply a matter of 
ensuring that layer is added to your bblayers.conf and you set DISTRO as 
appropriate.

AFAIK the command line options in question were added to allow frontends to 
inject configuration into bitbake rather than something the user would normally 
use directly.

Cheers,
Paul
