I've thought that it would be nice if the files/directories were written 
into the archive with 0666/0777 permissions by default, and then 
extracted with the umask honoured.  A special option then could be used 
to add files with special permissions, like files in .ssh, which *have* 
to be g-w or sshd will reject them.
