Apple changed their permissions around several times. I haven't clean 
sweeped for some time so I have a lovely mix of staff and admin and 
other stuff (group) owning my files here and there. At any rate, 
TextMate doesn't install - you copy it yourself, so it has nothing to 
do with its own permisions. Also, umask only affects protection bits 
and not ownership AFAIK.
