2. The following horrible, broken and obsolete eyesore:

-o -perm 511 \) -exec chmod 755 {} \; -o \

can be replaced by:
chmod -R a-st,u+rwX,go-w+rX .
I advocate this solution.
Can we switch for it?
Or at least would the SlackBuild be accepted if I used this construct?
For the moment I was worried about what is going to happen with symbolic
links, man page to the rescue:
"chmod never changes the permissions of symbolic links; the chmod system
call cannot change their permissions. This is not a problem since the
permissions of symbolic links are never used. However, for each symbolic
link listed on the command line, chmod changes the permissions of the
pointed-to file. *In contrast, chmod ignores symbolic links encountered
during recursive directory traversals.*"
Tested, works as expected.
