Yuck, I had not realized I had created one of those monsters. While
xorg-sgml-doctools was read-only, no problem. When using it to populate
the target dbs for document cross-referencing, write permission began to
matter.

An alternative is to install the *.db files in their respective packages
and have the xorg-sgml-doctools masterdb point to the packages. Either
way we do it, there will be warnings about olinks not found during
distcheck. This is because for olinks to work, all packages, including
xorg-sgml-doctools, must be installed under the same $prefix.

I'll give that a try. 

Thanks!
