Summary:                    cmake does not remove readonly flag from its *.in
files when copying, so modification fails.
Description: 
we are using TFS from Microsoft as version control system, TFS does set the
readonly flag on all non checked out files. we have cmake checked in so
everybody gets the right version of it when building our software ( we also
maintain some modifications to cmake).
the problem is that cmake does not remove readonly flag from its *.in files when
copying, so modification fails.

our current workaround is that we do a 
EXECUTE_PROCESS( COMMAND cmd /C attrib /S -R "${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/*.in"
ERROR_QUIET)

but i would like it better, if cmake would be aware of files having readonly
attribut set and remove that when copying the file.

regards,
Gunnar
