> 'chmod -R o-w .' would be better. ./* will miss dotfiles.

but the kernel source tree doesn't have dot files...

and also from the lkml in devel and test linux has a `chmod og-w ./*`
to fix it, also sorcery devel has a fix that will unpack the file with
--no-same-permissions (opposite of --same-permissions check out the
info page man page doesn't have it)

lkml also said that unpacking and building should be done as user and
not as root because the bad permisssions don't show up as non-root
user...

but sorcery doesn't implement that yet, hopefully with the new
installwatch we can run all the spell files as non-root user
