Feedback from Paul Eggleton suggested to not use the linked
term "Source Directory" in the last paragraph of this section.
Reasoning being that it is mis-leading in this case. People
reading this will be thinking more along the lines of traditional
source code rather than our establishe "Source Directory" term,
which in the doc set refers to either the unpacked poky tarball
or the cloned poky Git repository.

Each time the kernel revision is bumped (e.g. 3.2 to 3.4)
Some of the figures would be out of date. The reason is they
had pathnames that included the release of the kernel.
For previous YP releases I was adding logic to the Makefile
to be sure to catch the right files dependent on the branch
from which the documents were being built. This scheme is
not scalable so I decided to make the figures generic by
adding a note within the figures explaining the place-holder
"<x.x>" as part of a pathname. Thus, three new figures were
added to the folders directories of the dev-manual and the
mega-manual. Correspondingly, the 'denzil' version of the
figures were deleted.
I modified the Makefile so that if the BRANCH is not edison
or denzil then the generic figure set is used. I have to retain
the logic for both edison and denzil to cover the case where
a user clones or sets up an edison or denzil repo and then
builds out the manuals. Basically, it had to be backwards
compatible for releases prior to danny.

Danny, the "kernel-example-repo-<release>.png" file changed to
"kernel-example-repo-danny.png". To correctly make the dev-manual
and the mega-manual some things needed to change:
1. New figure created and added to both the dev-manual and the
mega-manuals figures directory.
2. The "kernel-example-repo-denzil.png" files from the dev-manual
and mega-manual figures directory was removed.
3. The Makefile was adjusted so a new BRANCH=danny area now exists
to set TARFILES for both dev-manual and mega-manual.
