Ovirt devel - Sep 2008 - (new?) build-all -a failure, plus temporary work-around

"build-all -a" worked fine when I ran it, yesterday, but today
it failed with this:

    cannot create directory
`.../ovirt/wui/rpm-build/BUILDROOT/ovirt-wui-0.93-1.1.200809040929git825a783.fc10.x86_64':

    RPM build errors:
	Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.IE9Pl1 (%install)
    make: *** [rpms] Error 1
    [Exit 2]

Note that BUILDROOT doesn't exist yet:

    $ ls wui/rpm-build/
    ovirt-wui-0.93/  ovirt-wui-0.93.tar.gz  version

The code that prepares that particular rpm-build directory
is in wui/Makefile, but there are at least two other spots
with identical sequences of commands (down to unnecessary
trialing slash):

  $ g grep cp.version
  ovirt-host-creator/Makefile:    cp version rpm-build/
  ovirt-managed-node/Makefile:    cp version rpm-build/
  wui/Makefile:   cp version rpm-build/

This patch fixes the immediate problem, however, ...

The following one makes the same change to the other two rules:
(this isn't really a patch proposal, since I'll first have to
see if we can factor out the duplication).  Will report back soon.

Alan Pevec asked the right question: "you're using rawhide,
right?"
I answered "Yep, and just upgraded it last night.".
So this may well be due to a new version of rpm.
