+       Don't make generated files read-only.  That would bother too many
+       people.  However, do retain the ability to work when targets are
+       read-only: remove the destination and temporary files before writing
+       them (when generated via sed or echo), or by using the -f option for
+       both cp and mv commands.  Suggestion to use -f from Paul Eggert.

        Fix global typo in last change: use chmod u-w, not chmod u-x.
