Before I get a zillion bug reports about this... as a result of a lightly 
broken security fix, Debian stable ships with a slightly broken 
File::Path::rmtree() that cannot delete read-only directories.  Ubuntu may also 
be effected.  This causes an ExtUtils::Command test to fail.

ok 19 - change a dir to read-only
Can't chdir to testdir (Permission denied) at blib/lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 
108
not ok 20 - rm_rf can delete a read-only dir
# Failed test 'rm_rf can delete a read-only dir'
# in t/Command.t at line 178.

Since the test is correct and its a broken Perl and Debian has fixed this in 
testing and its not a critical feature, I don't intend to put any effort into 
working around it.  I'm not sure I'd even accept a patch to work around it as 
I'd rather see a user fix their broken File::Path than paper over the problem.  
But I can be convinced otherwise.
