[Pythonmac-SIG] Permission of package installed by mpkgs...

[Larry Meyn]

I mentioned this problem a week ago or so.  I'm not sure, but it only  
seems to be a problem on machines with multiple admin users.   
Actually, permissions are not set correctly on single user machines,  
but the issue doesn't immediately cause problems unless you add  
another user that wants to use the PIL library.
