INSTALL_DATA and modes

Subject: INSTALL_DATA and modes

It looks like posix(2) mandates 755 default modes for files created using
"install".

While I'm not thrilled with this in general, when installing DATA files I
find it particularly annoying to see the eXecute bit enabled.

I also do a lot of work where the default umask is 2...

What's are some of the better ways to fix this?  Use "cp" as INSTALL_DATA?
write a post-install hook to remove the eXecute bit?
