apparently, given the following in oe-buildenv-internal:
BITBAKEDIR="$OEROOT/bitbake$BBEXTRA/"
you can use BBEXTRA to use a different bitbake directory than the
default. is this a debugging aid? are normal users meant to know
about this? i don't see any mention of it anywhere. in fact, from
the top level of oe-core:
$ grep -r BBEXTRA *
scripts/oe-buildenv-internal:BITBAKEDIR="$OEROOT/bitbake$BBEXTRA/"
$

I was responsible for this one a long time ago and it was simply a
development aid. I was probably its main user although I haven't used it
in a while. We don't have multiple versions of bitbake being used
heavily anymore, thankfully.
Cheers,

is it worth just removing? i can send in a patch unless you'd
rather quietly keep it around.
