This is a bug ... unless the default make target does this ...

This is a huge set of packages, I don't see the point of requiring this
on all releases, where some of these packages may not even be up-to-date
when the docs should ship in good condition. We can make an
rpm-build-time option if this is really necessary.

And which is thus in no previous releases ... whereas without requiring
all this we can currently build down to 8.2 (I have binaries, but
find-requires segfaulted in my 8.2 chroot this morning for no reason and
I couldn't get rpm to make packages), and if we don't run autoconf, we
can probably build on 8.1, and if we make xml and krb5 optional we could
build on 8.0 ... (which I will have to consider the value of,
considering 8.0 is unsupported, and I think 8.1 also as of recently).

(the samba team provides samba3 binaries for Redhat 6.2!)
