But how? To use bitbake a build must be set up first. The script sets
up the build. When the script executes, bitbake won't yet run.

So perhaps:
conf-description.txt - a short (one line ideally) description of what
the configuration is for, shown by oe-setup-build to help the users
choose one configuration from several.
conf-notes.txt - a kind of freeform 'readme' for the configuration
explaining how to use it, and which are the key bitbake targets etc,
shown after the selection is made, when a build is set up from a
selected template.
