I was surprised to see 711 there, as 755 is the standard mode for
executables just about everywhere, as far as I know.
Since I use a self packaged version of Argyll on Ubuntu, it's the Debian
packaging code that actually fixes up these modes, so that's probably why I
never noticed this before.

That's actually a good point. Leave that out for the time being. I'll
retest without this.

I can test some instruments to see how well it works once I get it to
compile.
That said, 1.6.3 already builds...

Right, so I'll have a dig a bit more :)
Is there any chance you could incorporate the "good" bits already (into the
dev zip), so I have a new basepoint to test from?
