[Click] Make of testie.1 fails with permission denied

Hi,

When building the documentation, the pod2man command to build testie.1
fails with a permission denied error.

$(srcdir)/testie.1: $(top_srcdir)/test/testie
	pod2man -d '' -c '' $(top_srcdir)/test/testie > $(srcdir)/testie.1

I believe this happens because I have the code in local version
control and the timestamp on testie.1 is older than testie. However
testie.1 has read-only permission so pod2man fails to write the file.
I know this is specific to me using version control but is there a
general way for me to avoid this problem? (I could add a command to
checkout the file just before the pod2man command).

Thanks,
Puneet
