Hi,

I just noticed that the current bitbake manual states in the "Defining 
executable metadata" section that executable metadata is only supported 
in .bb and .bbclass files, but I find that I can put (at least some 
basic) tasks in .bbappend files, too.

Is this an oversight in the documentation, or are there gotchas adding 
tasks to bbappend files that I haven't come across?  If it's the former, 
I'll submit a patch.

Thanks,

Bob
