- typo fixed

- It's 3 lines and extra cvs hooey for a separate file is more trouble than
help.  Mainly it was just because I kept having to change the plan for how that
loading would work.

- I would have thought that too, but I'm following the example of mailman
mm_cfg.py, which is just the same sort of case.

- monotone's poor support for db file sharing makes it extremely hairy to make
anything work out of the box.  The sample configuration in the viewmtn rpm works
for ssh-based db serving as deployed on fedorahosted.org now.  I want to get
viewmtn packaged and running before we try to solve every problem.

- Slicing up the upstream sources to separate webpy is outside the scope of the
packaging effort.  I don't think it's used unmodified, and I'm sure that version
drift will be a big problem if we tried to maintain it separately.

- The #! complaints are stupid, but I worked around them since it would be more
stupid to waste one's life arguing with rpmlint authors.

I don't see what different would be the proper way to handle uid/gid.
The directory has to be owned by the uid/gid httpd runs as.
The "Requires(pre):  httpd" line should make sure it exists before install.

New version of spec and src.rpm in the same place.
