Oops, hit return instead of adding comment

Here are the steps for 1.3:

0) Install VMware-ovftool-2.1.0-467744-lin.x86_64.bundle (get from Saul)
   - sudo sh VMware-ovftool-2.1.0-467744-lin.x86_64.bundle --console
   - This is only needed once

1) MACHINE=qemux86-64 bitbake build-appliance-image
2) copy attached files to a temporay dir
3) copy tmp/deploy/images/build-appliance-image-qemux86-64.vmdk -> the same
   temporary directory as 2
4) in above temporary directory run:
   - ovftool Yocto\ Build\ Appliance.vmx Yocto\ Build\ Appliance.ovf
   - zip the resulting Yocto Build Appliance.ovf, Yocto Build Appliance.mf and
       into Yocto_Build_Appliance.zip 
5) Post said zip file

Forgot a very important step!  Update the SRCREV in the build-appliance-image.bb file to point to tag ref (not label), really will be head-1.

0) Ensure that the SRCREV is updated and pushed in build-appliance-image recipe
   - this is the master git hash for the release or milestone, may have to be manual

1) MACHINE=qemux86-64 bitbake build-appliance-image
2) copy attached files to a temporay dir
3) copy tmp/deploy/images/build-appliance-image-qemux86-64.vmdk -> the same
   temporary directory as 2
4) zip the Yocto Build Appliance.* and the vmdk image into Yocto_Build_Appliance.zip 
5) Post the zip file

Simplified yet again, as soon as my patch is in:

bitbake build-appliance-image

Yocto_Build_Appliance-${DATETIME}.zip is generated in tmp/deploy/images 
Yocto_Build_Appliance.zip will be a link to the above image.

Rename as needed for Release.
