chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly. install and mkdir now implement X correctly. install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without changing their owner or group.

+ * dirchownmod.c, dirchownmod.h, mkancesdirs.c, mkancesdirs.h:
+ New files.
+ * mkdir-p.c: Don't include alloca.h, stdio.h, sys/types.h,
+ unistd.h, string.h, chdir-safer.h, dirname.h, lchmod.h, lchown.h,
+ save-cwd.h. Instead, include dirchownmod.h and mkancesdirs.h.
+ (make_dir_parents): New args MAKE_ANCESTOR, OPTIONS, ANNOUNCE,
+ MODE_BITS. Remove options VERBOSE_FMT_STRING, CWD_ERRNO. All
+ callers changed. Revamp internals significantly, by not
+ attempting to create directories that are temporarily more
+ permissive than the final results. Do not attempt to use
+ save_cwd/restore_cwd; it isn't worth it for mkdir and install.
+ This removes some race conditions, fixes some bugs, and simplifies
+ things. Use new dirchownmod function to do owner and mode changes.
+ * mkdir-p.h: Likewise.
+ * modechange.c (octal_to_mode): New function.
+ (struct mode_change): New member mentioned.
+ (make_node_op_equals): New arg mentioned. All callers changed.
+ (mode_compile): Keep track of which mode bits the user has explicitly
+ mentioned.
+ (mode_adjust): New arg DIR, so that we implement the X op correctly.
+ New arg PMODE_BITS, to keep track of which mode bits the user
+ mentioned; it treats S_ISUID and S_ISGID speciall.
+ All callers changed.
+ * lib/modechange.h: Likewise.

* userspec.c (parse_with_separator): Say "invalid spec" rather than
