*.tcl installed as executable

[hamish]

Hi,

browsing through the Debian lintian package report for grass 6.2.3 I notice that the .tcl files installed in $(ETC)/dm/,gm/ are incorrectly given an executable bit in the file system.

some Makefile magic required..

I've changed gis.m/Makefile from $(INSTALL) to $(INSTALL_DATA) in r34721. tksys.tcl is an executable script, so I explicitly added execute permission for that file.

d.m would need something similar, if we're going to keep it. Is there any reason to? Does it still work?

thanks.

Apparently some people prefer it. All the g.gui and init.sh stuff is set up to handle it well in a mixed environment; it doesn't hurt anything; and has taken minimal effort to maintain. So I'd say there's no reason to remove it.

Does it still work?

yes, it works fine.
