ehm...

So you're saying "it's easier to do ln conf/mymachine.conf 
conf/local.conf ; bitbake foo than to do MACHINE=mymachine bitbake foo 
because I don't need to remember machine". To me that doesn't make sense 
since either way you end up setting machine pretty much manually. And 
your 'easier' way incurs a 10 minutes reparse penalty when switching 
machines while mine doesn't. I guess you like coffee breaks more than I 
do :)
