[oi-dev] Errors from distro constructor

[Gary Mills]

When I ran distro_const the other day I got these errors:

    <root at t2000># distro_const build text_mode_sparc.xml

As far as I can tell, the python script reinterprets the manifests,
but does it incorrectly.  In fact, the shell seems to be involved too.
Enclosing the file name in single quotes allows `ls -l' to find it.

I can correct the problem by omitting the relevant lines from the
crypto-ca-certificates.p5m manifest, but is there a better way?
