sigh.  I removed this from pkg_add because 022 is not the umask used by all
pkgsrc-supporting platforms.  The tech-pkg thread for it is in the archive
for March somewhere.

I'll re-add this to pkg_add and use the DEF_UMASK variable in
pkgtools/pkg_install to parameterize it so that pkgsrc/bootstrap-using
platforms will get their Correct values.  This is probably what I should
have done from the beginning, but didn't think of it the first time around
for some reason.
