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

[DG Ward]

I agree that setting the user-id explicitly isn't the right way to do 
things, so, I spent some more time playing about.

I've found that the problem seemed to be more about the permissions 
being set on the directories created during installation rather than the 
files that're being installed within them.

Anyway! I've got a new patch for you to play with. All it does in 
comparison to the original defaults.make is that it uses install to 
create a directory and specifies only the permissions to use for that 
new directory - 755.
