Seems reasonable, although the need for more options being passed to
buildinstall etc is kind of painful.  But c'est la vie.

Is having the logo package we want in the transaction set (listed in
PACKAGESGR) not good enough?  I know that at one point it wasn't, but
I'm pretty sure I saw a commit from jantill to yum so that we'd try to
satisfy deps from packages already in the ts first.

That might mean depending on yum 3.2.19, but that's okay for master.

The big worry I have here is that someone else will have another -logos
package (centos-logos anyone? :) and then we'll get bitten by not having
a complete list.  So it seems better to make it an "include this
package" as opposed to "exclude these other packages" type of thing.
