2005-12-28	Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.	Jim Meyering

2005-12-27	chdir-related fixes	Paul Eggert

2005-12-27	(wipename): Use similar open flags to other places we open directories.	Paul Eggert
	Don't bother trying to open dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
2005-12-27	(fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY \| O_NOCTTY	Paul Eggert
	\| O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers. Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY. (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
2005-12-27	(restricted_chown):	Paul Eggert
	Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
2005-12-27	(save_cwd): Don't bother trying to open directory	Paul Eggert
	for write access: POSIX says that must fail.
2005-12-27	(rpl_chown) [CHOWN_MODIFIES_SYMLINK]:	Paul Eggert
	Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES. Fall back on chown if open failed with EACCES.
2005-12-27	(defined_S_IFMT): New macro.	Paul Eggert
	Include stat-macros.h. Include stdlib.h, for abort(). Don't include stdio.h or assert.h; no longer needed. (same_file_type): Don't assume S_IFMT is defined, as POSIX does not require this. Don't assume S_IFCHR and S_IFBLK have their usual sort of bit pattern. (fchmod_new): Open with O_NOCTTY for as well, for minor improvement on hosts where that matters. Don't bother to assert, since the caller (in this source file) checks the same thing. Discard any errno from a close failure, for consistency with other code.
2005-12-27	(diropen): Don't bother trying to open directory for write access:	Paul Eggert
	POSIX says that must fail.
2005-12-27	(chdir_no_follow): Don't bother trying to open directory for write	Paul Eggert
	access: POSIX says that must fail.
