I agree that a setup script of some sort (off the top of my head,
something that takes layer-names as input, checks vs a list,
fetches/clones, creates a wrapper around bitbake-layers to always add
them) should be a high priority.  I don't have a problem telling my
customers to clone meta-openembedded and then use the layers that are
needed in that specific project.  But it's painful to have a shell
for-loop in the docs we provide so they can setup a build.
