For the sake of documenting it, adding the -V CHECKFLIST_FLAGS="-e -m"
option to the ./build.sh command line causes the checkflist command to
ignore the descrepancies between what it thinks should be in $DESTDIR
and what is actually there.

I've also checked the resulting tarball sets against the contents of the
build $DESTDIR.  One of the things that checkflist reports is a list of
extra files it finds in $DESTDIR.  As I sort of suspected, all of these
files are absent from the release tarballs.  That list of files being:

============  extra files  ===============
Files in DESTDIR but missing from flist.
File is obsolete or flist is out of date ?
This is non-fatal.

=========  end of extra files  ===========

I don't think it'll be too hard to add those into whatever list
checkflist and maketars are using.  Once I do that, I should be able to
build a real release.
