At the suggestion of Scott Garman, I added a link to his Getting
Started with the Yocto Project - New Developer Screencast Tutorial.
In doing so, the list of "other helpful things to read" was turned
into a list as there are three items now.

Made some minor edits. I also discovered that the information
describing where tuning files reside was not real helpful.
In particular, tuning files are not limited to the
meta/conf/machine/include directory. For example, the Crown Bay
BSP layer includes a tuning file from the meta-intel Layer.

I was introducing each area of the sub-sections by saying
"You can find these files in the Yocto Project Files ....",
which really isn't accurate. This structure is a BSP structure
or layer. I am not referring to it as such.

the actual term definition in the Terms chapter. All this is

Complete re-write to the "Modifying Temporary Source Code" section,
Section 4.4. This strategy now comprises telling the user where
this temporary source code is, how to change it within a Quilt
workflow, and how to change it within a Git workflow.
I consulted with Paul Eggleton quite a bit to come to this conclusion
that the section needed more attention.

over-arching section named "Modifying Package Source Code."
The section on Quilt was sort of a stand-alone section but Paul
Eggleton suggested that it is a natural follow-on. So I put the
two sections in as sub-sections.
