But 0022 is the default setting, certainly choosing the uglix

On systems that use UPG, 0002 is the default.  And last time I used
AIX, 0000 was the default.

It just seems to me that the permissions in the RPM should be honored
exactly 100% as they're stored, even if that means world write
permissions (such as in 1777 directories like /tmp).


I will add the macro, and postpone setting until end, not beginning, of macro loads.

Truly, bootstrapping the dumpty-humpty rpm through external, maximally "flexible", macros with embedded %{_target_platform} in path, with run-time zeroconf discovery
of configuration, is getting way too complex again again.

At least rpmrc (and RPMTAG_ARCH) are finally Dead! Dead! Dead!
