FYI: chmod -w => chmod a-w

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

Following Paul's changes to autoconf, I'm checking this in on
HEAD and branch-1-8.

2004-01-05  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <address@hidden>

        Mimic Paul Eggert's changes to Autoconf.
        * Makefile.am (automake, aclocal): Use `chmod a-w', not `chmod -w'.
        * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.
        * m4/Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/amversion.m4): Likewise.
