Patch for 'Delayed File Output' in tee

I found myself doing something like this alot:

$ some-program-that-changes-file-foo foo > foo.tmp
$ mv foo.tmp foo

Frankly that's kind of annoying.  I wrote a little utility called dcat
which allows you to do this:

$ some-program-that-changes-file-foo foo | dcat foo

Since tee has similar behavior (well, more similar than straight cat), I
implemented this behavior when using the -d flag.

I've attached the patch.  I hope that you find it useful!
