Dulwich uninstallable

[Russel Winder]

Jelmer,

Neil Martinsen-Burrell was kind enough to hassle me offlist about this
and with his prompts and my less grumpy :-) experimentation the problem
is clear.  Distutils carefully obeys the umask of the logged in use even
when sudo is used.  So "sudo make install" does not set the read and
execute (sometimes) permissions on the installed stuff.  Also the
easy-install.pth file.  So the correct manual intervention I need to
make things work is:

	cd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
	sudo chmod -R go+rX *

Annoying.  And it seems widespread to all Disturil installed
packages.  :-(

Anyway the upshot is that Dulwich is actually installing and working as
it should -- my apologies for implying otherwise.  The problem is with
Distutils not the Dulwich installation.
