Well, we can take care of it here on the list -- but let me make sure 
I have all of the permissions correct for all files.  I'm guessing
that files in the distribution (except pmwiki.php) should have 
rw-r--r-- (644) permissions, all directories should have rwxr-xr-x (755) 
permissions, and pmwiki.php should be marked as executable with 
rwxr-xr-x  (755) permissions.

It doesn't seem to me that the other .php scripts in the distribution
need execute permissions, as they're not called directly from the 
webserver anyway (they're always called via include).  

Sound good?
