lsh-19990114: avoid corrupting files during build

Wed, 20 Jan 1999 11:32:56 -0500 

Hi!

The attached patch prevents lsh's Makefile from truncating files if a
program doesn't work.  The basic idea is to avoid using `COMMAND >
TARGET', instead use `COMMAND > TEMPFILE && mv -f TEMPFILE TARGET'.

        * Makefile.am: Don't clobber files unless the new one was
        correctly regenerated.

Thanks,
