Test of Docs Packaging

Not to me as a doc developer.  See, I've got to have CVS for my
document anyway, so I just may as well keep the ../docs-common stuff
checked out.  Why be "slightly pregnant"?

I keep envisioning only two use cases:

1) Developer -- eveything local from a CVS checkout, even if I don't
have CVS write permission.

2) End user, aka read-only -- install the RPM's and yelp away.

What am I missing?

Cheers
