Which "sane umask" should we pick?  022, 027, 002?  :-)

[ My implication is that setting any default is likely to be considered the 
wrong default by many people, especially where the user himself has a non-sane 
umask to begin with. ]

Besides, many ports end up using the install command to manually set 
permissions (obviously for anything which is setuid/setgid) anyway, so the 
issue is not any less complicated than it may appear at first glance.
