[Chicken-hackers] Ticket 942 - make install uses user's umask

[DG Ward]

Hey guys,

I've been working away on fixing the problem described here:
http://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/942

The problem only manifests itself when you install via. sudo.

The reason that the issue arose is that no owner was specified for the 
files being installed. This meant that the owner defaulted to the person 
who ran the command.

That itself may not seem like it should screw up the permissions as they 
were directly specified (e.g. -m755). The gotcha? Sudo doesn't let 
issued programs set a umask that's more permissive than that of the 
invoking user.

Explicitly stating the owner as root lets us set the mode to whatever we 
please :)

I've attached a quick patch that fixes it on my side :)
