1322,[RFC] OS.chmod & FileHandle.fchmod,fperrad,,"Currently, there are no way to modify file permission bits.

For example, in distutils.pir, I use :
{{{
$I0 = spawnw 'perl -MExtUtils::Command -e ExtUtils::Command::chmod 0755 filename'
}}}

We could wrap POSIX C functions :

 * in OS PMC, a method chmod(path, mode) 
and/or
 * in FileHandle PMC, a method fchmod(mode)
