make distcheck creates directory that I don't have write permissions for - is this expected?

[Ed Hartnett]

Howdy all!

I'm trying to get make distcheck working for my package, and I've
noticed something that's a little inconvenient. When it unpacks my
package, all the files are read-only, so that when I try and delete
the directory, I get a bunch of permission denied errors.

Is this expected behavior from make dist?

Is this what the user see when he unpacks my package - a bunch of
read-only files?

Thanks!

Ed
