 I have an umask 077 on my root user, but when i type:
 cabal install --global pkg
 or I have a global setting in my configuration file, cabal installs the
 package globally, but with root's umask.

 cabal is a package manager and if I install a package globally, I expect
 it to be accessible globally.
