* Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Ugh. More hair to

help `make distcheck'; not only do we have to make a copy of
ltmain.sh available in the source tree, but we have to be really
careful about permission bit twiddling when we copy it across into
the possible read-only $(top_srcdir)/config directory!

        against a read-only source tree (as in distcheck for example),
        since autoconf wants to write temporary files in $top_srcdir
