"missing" is not executable

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

The file "missing" on CVS is not executable. "make dist" doesn't make it
executable. People who don't have e.g. makeinfo will be out of luck.

Possible solutions:

1) Ask address@hidden to make it executable (IMO should be done
anyways, "mdate-sh" too).

2) Add a hook to the "dist" target to make "missing" executable.

3) Modify m4/missing.m4 (not that deep as the current Automake does), e.g.

--- missing.m4  Thu Oct 12 17:17:50 2000
+++ missing.m4  Thu Oct 12 17:29:35 2000
