The problem is that the checkout usually gets rdisted to many systems...
make wouldn't be a good solution since It would mean to create a temporary
to-rdist-tree and handling all the special chmod cases.... (one file
has that modes, an other file has other modes - everything as restrictive
as possible) It would complicate the whole thing if you have to create a
"filename - mode" mapping table. In regard of others I've to KISS.
Is there no other way?
