* Add write permission to sources copied from the store.

* A new `distPhase' to build source distributions (enabled when
  $doDist = 1).
* A new `checkPhase' to perform `make check' (enabled when $doCheck =
  1).
* Allow the prefix to be redirected, either by setting $prefix or by
  setting $useTempPrefix to 1.  Useful when making distributions.
* Allow the build or install phases to be skipped by setting
  $dontBuild $dontInstall to 1.
* Allow the order of phases to be changed by setting $phases.
