permissions from make dist


From: Richard Cunningham
Subject: permissions from make dist

User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (X11/20080715)

I am finding that a number of packages come with tars with world write on some the directories when unpacked (without a umask).
I reported the issue to the lighttpd, who said:

'please file a bug on autotools at the gnu website. they do this on purpose for some unknown reason in "make dist".'
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1921

So, I would like to report this as a bug.
