Better idea:
Have default 644 for files and 755 for directories, but let the user override this by explicitly specifying any of
* the desired file permissions
* the desired directory permissions for newly created directories
* the desired group owner for newly created files and directories
via command-line options on "make install".
You can already do this. You can, e.g., install packages with
make install MKDIR_P="mkdir -p -m 700"
Good! So then, why not correct the default for new directories to 755, as originally proposed?
