Been bitten many times because of this. :-\

There is an argument that if you set the umask then you are getting
exactly what you ask for :)
Kris
Yes, you're right, and it works for us and I can imagine many situations
people change default umask. But IMHO it doesn't make sense for
ports/packages as installing them with non-default umask effectively
renders them unusable. Therefore it seems to me that either ignoring
umask or at least warning people umask is changed would be correct in
this case.
Martin
I think a warning would be a good compromise between second-guessing
the user and silently breaking things.
Seconded.
