Ha! The default umask (when logged in, and sudo'ing to root) seems to
be 0027. Explicitly setting "umask 022" before "make install" produces
an installation where those directories are world-readable.

I suspect this is because RHEL has traditionally created for each user
a similarly named group (and they do have a point, with proper umask it
does make groups more useful in sharing directories), and setting the
umask to reflect this.
