  Changes between 1.6.2 and 2.0b0 (02-Nov-2002 to xx-May-2003):
 
+   *) Make sure "shtool install -e ..." does not fail with "permission
+      denied" on the internally created temporary files if the source
+      file is not writeable to the current user. This occurs because
+      cp(1) does not in all cases honor umask(2) (even without option
+      -p) -- mainly if the source file is already owned by the current
+      user (then the permissions are always copied). Hence an explicit
+      "chmod u+w" is required if the "shtool install" substitution
+      feature (option -e) is used.
+      [Thomas Lotterer <thomas@lotterer.net>,

    *) When patching a file with "shtool subst" try to make it
       writeable first in case it has permissions set differently.
