It was discussed whether we should make xrootd depend on M$ Word, too, but
it turned out that it wasn't available on all of the necessary platforms....
Anyway, I see from the 'access' man page:
The difference between access and test is that the latter
looks at the permission bits, while the former checks using
the access(2) system call. This makes a difference when
file systems have been mounted read-only.
so I assume Andy didn't use 'test' because of the possibility of read-only
filesystems?
It is more or less random that it was tetex decided to make a binary
wrapping the access system call (i.e. it is spurious dependence due to the
lack of a system binary providing that functionality) Short of making an
'xaccess' wrapper (ugly), I'm not sure what to do ... What is the portable
way to check if a filesystem is mounted read-only?
