[PATCH] populate_sdk_base: add auto-completion in setup

["Meier, Dennis" <meier.dennis@siemens.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 520 bytes --]

Hello Yocto-Community,

It's really easy to add auto completion in the SDK setup scripts
with BASH's "read -e -p". I attached a short patch that does this.
Makes life very comfortable ;-).

I already asked Paul Eggleton on IRC about the change, and our only concern
is that it could break the script in other shells than BASH. However, since
the script already starts with #!/bin/bash hopefully isn't a real problem.

Any thoughts? I would love to see this in an upcoming release.

Regards,
Dennis
