Okay, I've finally tracked down where it all went wrong.  When Presto
wasn't running applydeltarpm with on-disk MD5 checking.  It was only
checking file sizes.  So if a file got one byte changed, it wouldn't
catch that the patch wouldn't apply any more.  I've fixed this so it
does a full (slow) MD5 check when it finds an applicable DRPM in 0.2.9.

Please, please let me know if anyone hits the "Error rebuilding at least
one deltarpm." error.  It shouldn't happen anymore, but I'd like to know
if it does.
