that's not how they're specified in docbook.  the actual docbook XML
to refer to a multi-term varlistentry is

  <varlistentry>
   <term>/bin</term>
   <term>/usr/bin</term>

and so on.  you're not even specifying the comma, just listing the terms.
the .fo stuff i posted before is what's *generated* by, in my case,
xsltproc.

so there's no way for me to insert *anything* explicitly.  once again,
this falls to FOP for breaking the string where it did.
