Description
While trying to port rlpr, I found that reinplace doesn't handle non-writable files. The command
reinplace s,/etc/rlprrc,${prefix}/etc/rlprrc, \
${worksrcpath}/man/rlpq.1
resulted in
Error: reinplace: cp: /Users/fenner/dports/rlpr/work/rlpr-2.04/man/rlpq.1: Permission denied
I worked around it with system "chmod +w" but it'd be nice if reinplace could handle it itself.

Oddly enough, I ran into this already and solved it with file attributes $file -permissions +w For some reason this time I thought it had to be done with system("chmod"). Since it can be done in tcl I'll attach a proposed patch.
