What about two lines like these in Makefiles for targets which use  tar/cpio
to install some stuff:

	find _SOME_PATH_ -type d -exec chmod a+rx \{\} \;
 and	find _SOME_PATH_ -type f -exec chmod a+r \{\} \;

All remaining targets in Makefiles are using 'chmod' to ensure correct 
permissions on installed directories and files.
Targets using tar/cpio should ensure correct permissions too, shouldn't they?
