I would suggest having something like this in the ~/.garrc file:

STOP_ON_WRONG_UMASK = 1

If the umask is not 022, the build would stop.

>From the user's perspective, it's easier to think in terms of
accomplishing a specific task. If I want to set user/group/permissions
for a specific file, I'd find it more intuitive to use "USERGROUP"
prefix rather than "PROTOTYPE", even though it's where the tweaking
takes place under the hood. How about the following?

USERGROUP_PASSWD = /etc/opt/csw/pkg/CSWfoo/cswusergroup
USERGROUP_MODIFIERS = mytweaks
USERGROUP_mytweaks_USER = mysql
USERGROUP_mytweaks_GROUP = mysql
USERGROUP_mytweaks_PERMS = 0700
USERGROUP_mytweaks_FILES = /var/opt/csw/mysql5
