[tahoe-dev] 1.9.0 tarball broken

The 1.9.0 tarball is different from the 1.9.0b1 tarball;
files/directories are 0600/0700, while in 1.9.0b1 they are the more sane
0644/0755.   The standard install seems to copy them as is, resulting in
root-owned files in the package that are unreadable by mere mortals.

We've had this issue before, and I'm not sure if there is a bug open
about the tarball creation process - certainly things like permissions
in the tarball should be deterministic.
