Files within a directory can easily be CHMODed to 777, 755, 644, etc ... just like the parent directory.

I am quite well aware of how to CHMOD all the files at once, but it would save me quite a bit of time if I could CHMOD the contents of a folder the same time as the folder itself, and I'm sure it would benefit others that install scripts as well.

Case in point: When I install an IPB, I have to CHMOD the following to 777

/archive_out/
/lang/
/lang/en/
(24 files)
/Skin/
/Skin/s1/
(23 files)
/uploads/

Now, as it is, it requires 5 CHMOD operations. With what I'm suggesting, it would only require CHMODing

/archive_out/
/lang/
/Skin/
/uploads/

With the new feature, it would only require 1 CHMOD to accomplish the same result, and this is only a simple script. Imagine a more complex one.
