When adding patches or config files from bbappend files, it requires
the use of FILESEXTRAPATHS, which has been an issue and failure point
for people starting to work with bitbake and oe-core.
We add checking to standardize how to use FILESEXTRAPATHS. Only the
format of:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_append := ":${THISDIR}/Your_Files_Path" or
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/Your_Files_Path:"
is acceptable.

It sure would have been nice (even polite?) to make this a warning when first
added. As is, it's going to break a lot of builds and it will be very tedious
to fix since the parser will die on the first one it finds :-(
Agreed, I'll change this to a warning.
Thanks :-)
