Summary: Warn on potentially useless umasks?

Initial Comment:
I noticed quite by accident today that distutils seems to take into
account the installer's umask setting when spambayes got
installed with these notices:

changing mode of /usr/local/bin/unheader.py to 711
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/hammie.py to 711
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/hammiecli.py to 711
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/hammiesrv.py to 711
...

The root user's umask was 077.  Perhaps distutils should
warn the installer when scripts or modules would be installed
but not readable.
