Almost everything seems to be in order; changes included (I made minor
adjustments, such as removing your debug-printf's and making mode_t
const).

set_file_perms() is a great improvement compared to copy_file_modes(),
we should migrate all the programs to use this, and make sure all files
are created with permissions 400 by default.  Paranoia is good.

Oh, and I like the fact that you sent one diff/file.  Just the way I
want it.
