This is breaking 'make distcheck' with:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/libvirt/libvirt-1.1.1/_build/docs'
perl ../../docs/genaclperms.pl ../../src/access/viraccessperm.h >
../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc
/bin/sh: ../../docs/aclperms.htmlinc: Permission denied

That is, when unpacking a tarball into read-only media (such as
exploding it onto a CDROM, then doing a VPATH build in a read-write tree
while pointing to the read-only source location), we are trying to
modify the source tree.  I'm working on a fix, hopefully before 1.1.2 is
out.
