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.
