So I thought I'd give hob a test. Basically, I wanted to do what I could 
already do with the command line.

Normally, after I set the environment variables, I edit the local.conf 
to change my machine type and parallel processing options. Then I point 
the download directory to a centralized one on my system, and add some 
License statements and some CORE-IMAGE-EXTRA-INSTALL statements for 
extra packages. Then I edit the bblayer.conf to had the path to my layer 
and the meta-intel layers.

To use Hob, I set my environment variable and the just ran hob.  It was 
very slow going through the first 63 packages. I think this is because 
parallel options had not been set and the packages were all being 
downloaded again.  But after I got to the UI of hob, I got errors adding 
my layers to get to the meta-intel layers I wanted.  So I started over 
and edited local.conf and bblayer.conf prior to launching hob.  Now I 
could see my machine from meta-intel, but I could not add my layer in. 
Parsing errors.

Before I report an error, I wanted to see if I have the hob startup 
process right. The issues is around the right way to add 
meta-intel/meta-cedartrail and my personal layer in my home directory.

Any advice?
