setup for overo oe build system

The short version of the official doc.

Rumor has it that builds work best on the latest version of ubuntu (10.04 right now). The maintainer upgrades regularly and some native packages mismatch on older Ubuntu versions.

WARNING: You must not have symbolic links anywhere above or below the overo-oe directory.

If your /home is mounted on another drive such as /mnt/local/home you must create your overo-oe outside of your home directory.
