The mdemo tests are part of the old testsuite (for which the umask is
not set) not the new testsuite; sorry for being imprecise.

I'm still undecided on whether we should set that for the old testsuite,
or go for the more general solution and just turn set o-rwx for *all*
uninstalled libraries we generate on AIX, and only turn the bits on at
`make install' time.  That way we would still require the umask in the
testsuite, but developers of packages using libtool might be better off.

Thanks,
