----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 After upgrading to Cabal 1.8, running './Setup.lhs sdist' in any package
 is generating tarballs with bizarre permissions:

   - Every directory has mode 0755.
   - Every file has mode 0600.

 In particular, the executable bits from files are lost, and files should
 be group/world readable.  Cabal 1.6 generates correct permissions.
