I've managed to design how to add targets to your project configuration.
It's a bit of a tricky piece: I am sure I am forgetting something and some
stuff in there might not be quite right, so feedback would be much
appreciated. 

The design document is attached to the Bugzilla feature

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6232

New stuff from page 19.

Thanks!

Belén
