[ptp-dev] Toolchains - purpose and usage

Is this accurate? I'm writing up an introductory create-a-project part of the ptp help for kepler,
and now i'm wondering if this is accurate.

I said the following, but later i have to show them how to set remote includes so that codan doesn't incorrectly
flag alot of errors.
What *is* the toolchain used for now, in a makefile project?
(and in a managed project, just so i get all the info right.)  I'm not sure we're consistent in what we say.

"Note: toolchain information is only  used for scanner discovery in determining the location
of the include files, etc. that are used in your build - to help Eclipse find the same information
to help with editor navigation, special features, etc.
Actual build command information is taken from your Makefile."

this is in the introductory 01buildMPIprog.html in the ptp help
