When I clone the yocto git repo (git://git.pokylinux.org/poky.git) I 
don't get any of these meta-xxx directories that the BSP guide talks 
about. They seem to be kept in a separate git repository.

My question is then, once I create my meta-xxx directory structure, how 
is it hooked up to the overall poky build infrastructure? I've failed to 
find an answer in the BSP guide so far.

Thanks,
