When making directories into which to install files in "make install",
change the directory mode to 755 after making the directory, so that the
directory is publicly readable and searchable even if the user doing the
"make install" has a umask that takes away public read and search
permissions. (I think that's been a problem at least once - somebody
had trouble configuring and building Ethereal, probably because
"/usr/local/include/net" wasn't publicly readable and searchable, and my
suspicion is that somebody did "make install-incl" or "make install" of
libpcap when their umask was 027.)
