  First, it  uses dired,  and I don't  want to  launch a dired  of the
  current directory to modify current-file modes.

  Second, it uses the chmod(1) executable, which, beside the fact that
  another program is called, is not compatible with systems that don't
  have  that kind  of binary  installed (like  if one  just downloaded
  a compiled version of emacs for Windows on http://www.crasseux.com)

  Nop ?
