Subject: phar['blah.php']->isWritable() works now
From: greg@chiaraquartet.net (Gregory Beaver)

Hi,

There were some rumblings about wanting a way to detect whether a
specific file/archive was writeable.  I made some small changes to the
way we detect this when the ini setting is changed, and added a test. 
Now the existing isWritable() from SplFileInfo always works properly for
Phar.  In addition, is_writeable/is_writable work, as does stat and
related functions, all of which were actually broken should one
ini_set() phar.readonly to another value.

One step closer to satisfying the API grumblings :).

We need some assistance from Mac OS X experts, changes are needed to
make it compile on Tiger (and, apparently, on some Leopard systems that
upgraded from Tiger).

Thanks,
Greg
