+/// Method: MakeFileReadable ()
+///
+/// Description:
+///	This method makes the specified filename readable by giving it
+///	read permission.  It respects the umask value of the process, and it
+///	does not enable any unnecessary access bits.
+///
+/// Algorithm:
+///	o Get file's current permissions.
+///	o Get the process's current umask.
+///	o Take the set of all read bits and disable those found in the umask.
+///	o Add the remaining permissions to the file's permissions.
+///
