Modified files:
        classes/image.bbclass conf/bitbake.conf
        conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc

ChangeLog: 

bitbake.conf, image.bbclass: Add and use USERDISTRO var to preserve
original DISTRO value.
* Some distros override DISTRO var to hack overrides right, etc. Yet,
original value may be needed sometimes. For example, bbimage expects
DISTRO to be what user set/passed it, not something else.
* TODO: After interim cleanup during preparation of this patch, it
turns out that angstrom is the only distro to (ab)use DISTRO
overriding. It may make sense to instead get its OVERRIDES value right.

Modified files:

ChangeLog: 

bitbake.conf: Set default IMAGE_FSTYPES to "tar.gz".
* Per RFC on the ML, as the means to use neutral, well-known format as
the default.
* Machines which have affinity towards jffs2, can add 'IMAGE_FSTYPES ?=
"jffs2"' to their configs. (Many known machines have been updated
already).
