Quick patch to avoid deleting my directory of RPM Sources.

I tend to use buildroot as "make DL_DIR=/.rh/SOURCES", with the rpm 
topdir set to $HOME/.rh in my .rpmmacros -- allows me to build RPMs as 
non-root, and share the source with buildroot.  Problem is, buildroot 
likes to delete my directory :(
