I have a few qualms about invoking "chmod u+w" as I worry it might run
afoul of people who have deliberately set up their directories in
weird ways.

coreutils addresses this problem by putting traps in its test cases,
so that the traps can do a chmod u+w; does that work for you?

chmod -R is portable these days, by the way.
