Gahh, got cut off and hit the wrong key. The built components in the
"tools" directory include a number of binaries, not appropriate to
docs, and filtering out what should go in in "docs" after it's already
built is awkward. What I can do easily is a hack in the .spec file:
replicate "tools" to "tools-doc" before compilation, and include
"tools-doc" as documentation for a distinct "tools" package that also
includes the binaries intalled with 'make instlal-toole". It's a bit
funky, but will generate a clean build.
