Sorry to reply to myself, but that's fixed now.  Though the list would
like to know.  ;-)

Building from SRPM now works too, and HTML stuff has the draft watermark
if the SRPM is the source for the build.

Still remaining: %changelog lint stuff, and one added challenge:  Need
to draft watermark the XML stuff rendered in yelp by default.  I think
the DocBook in yelp may be rendered to HTML using the stuff
in /usr/share/yelp, but if anyone could pitch in an explanation and
advice, that would be great.  Please don't be afraid to be pedantic, it
helps not only me but the googlemind as well.  (*grumble grumble*
