Why not skip setting permissions on existing directories?

This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.


I noticed that when installing a directory cmake tries to set permissions on it even when the directory existed before running cmake. This makes it hard to use package users for package management and I wonder if there is any specific reason why cmake does not skip setting permissions on existing directories.
