Steve Kowalik e02dbd717b Stop using bash arrays for whitelisting in yum 
Using -n for bash arrays was a little bit bad, and also resulted in
errors when running under set -u. Wean the yum element off the array
and switch to a straight string.

README.md

Provide yum specific image building glue.

RHEL/Fedora/CentOS and other yum based distributions need specific yum customizations.

Customizations include caching of downloaded yum packages outside of the build chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy as a yum cache since the same rpm from different mirrors is often requested.
