Re: [Ltib] Special tag localdir_nobuild causes LTIB to go to the config screen.

Hi Aaron,

Please keep messages on the list.

I agree that a platform should be pre-chosen, so the top level .config 
should be there.  I'll look at fixing this, but not sure when (feel free 
to submit another patch).  The reason your patch is not quite right is 
that the platform config should not be created (the one in 
config/platform/_target_).

Regards, Stuart
