I tried that, and it may have gotten me closer to a solution, or closer to
the catch-22.  I can't tell which yet.
package.use explicitly turns off xulrunner for yelp.  I must have thought I
needed to do this at some point....
But I was probably just floundering around.  I untweaked it and now the
emerge is going forward.  I think this
will solve the problem.
