Summary: with umask 077, "make install" creates mode 700 directories

Initial Comment:
In curl 7.18.0, "make install" does specify mode 644 for files that it installs, but fails to specify mode 755 for at least some of the directories created during the install. As a result, it can't be used to perform a system-wide install when the sysadmin's umask is 077.
While honoring the umask in this way makes some sense, it is not consistent anyway, so this should be fixed in one way or the other.

I'm almost certain this is done by tools we "just use" in this project and
thus this bug should exist for numerous packages.

So why are you installing things with umask 077 in the first place? Are
you saying the make install process should ignore your umask?
