contemporary installation DADA folder permissions

Hi Justin,

I just noticed that, when doing a contemporary installation, the dada/DADA folder ends up with 0777 perms, so anyone with access to the server is able to write on it.

I checked the distribution archive (pro_dada-4_9_1.tar) and the permissions there are 0755 so something during the installation process changes this and DOESN'T change it back.

I learnt this the hard way (before the upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.9.1 I found a nasty php script on DADA and browsing the apache logs I found it was used a couple of times).

grep'ing the installer, I found a couple of invocations to installer_chmod(0777, '../DADA'); and none to installer_chmod(0755, '../DADA');. within lib/DadaMailInstaller.pm.

Maybe that should be modified in future versions?
