I don't like this approach, if someone makes a typo in productnumber then
PROD_VERSION gets set to a value they aren't expecting.

I think it would be better to allow users to override PROD_VERSION in the books
Makefile.

The list of values we might consider letting people override are:

DOCNAME      (from title)
PRODUCT      (from productname)
PROD_VERSION (from productnumber)
RPM_VERSION  (from edition)
RPM_RELEASE  (from pubsnumber)

We would still enforce the current validity checks on these over ridden values,
but not on the xml fields.
