Log Message:
-----------
Add some more text about how I think property search
should work. We'll need to rationalize this with a real-life
example.

+  Let's say you have build 8A1, 8A2, and 8A3, and each inherits from the previous.
+  Let's say you have "foo" and "foo_prime", where "foo_prime" is a build alias
+  for "foo". If you're searching for "foo" in 8A3, look there first, and if you fail,
+  walk up the build inheritance tree.
+  
+  8A1   foo   
+  8A2   foo   foo_prime->foo
+  8A3   foo   
+
+  If you're looking for "foo_prime" in 8A3, we need to look up the entire
+  build inheritance for an overriding property. Along the way, if we find
+  that foo_prime was a build alias, and no property was found, restart the
+  search with "foo"
