You can do this by writing a shell script which takes the same options as
a regular 'install' program but instead of installing the file it logs it
somewhere.

env INSTALL_PROGRAM='install -m 000' INSTALL_DATA='install -m 123' ... 
./configure

or

make install INSTALL_PROGRAM='install -m 000' INSTALL_DATA='install -m 123' # 
etc.

This might be tricky to do with shared libraries.

Making the installed files writable (by anyone) is a rather obscure
requirement, so I doubt you will get a better interface than this.
