555 for shlibs on HPUX is not negotiable --- the performance cost of not
doing it that way is horrific. Shlibs are so wonderfully nonstandard
that there are likely other platforms with weird requirements for
shlibs. So I'd suggest 3 categories:
programs 0755
shared libraries platform-specific but usually 0755
data (libraries, headers, *.sample) 0644
Otherwise I agree --- no real need for 444 on data files.
