Description Patrick Ohly 2017-01-12 10:34:14 UTC 
bitbake rev 518b9015c2be8d3 (not quite master).

BBMULTICONFIG = "foobar" in local.conf does not trigger an error when there is no conf/multiconfig/foobar.conf.

It would be better if it did, to catch typos.

Patch to issue an error message such as:

ERROR: BBMULTICONFIG="arm1 qemux86 bozo" but the configuration file './conf/multiconfig/bozo.conf' does not exist!
