tested, seems to work and do everything we want
Installed machines have a correct release-rpms file
so that update_ws 9.0 just works (TM).
Test at will.
Note: The line that has ATHENAVERSION= in it needs
to be changed by hand whenever the rpm list is updated.
The rest does what it needs to.
The comments should explain why various things were done.
