This does not conform to POSIX.2, in that it does not have an -o option
to force octal output, the + operation does not seem to work (it always sets
the involved mode parts to 0, regardless of the previous value), and most
importantly, the modes are interpreted upside down.  That is, this script
assumes:

   $ umask -o
   022
   $ umask -s
   u=,g=w,o=w


POSIX.2 requires:

   $ umask -o
   022
   $ umask -s
   u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx
   $ umask o+w,g-r
   $ umask -s
   u=rwx,g=x,o=rwx
   $ umask -o
   0060

Here's a version of Maarten's script that fixes the above problems.
The default output style when no arguments are present is
implementation-defined, as far as POSIX.2 is concerned, but I prefer
symbolic output by default, so my script does that.

Some versions of sh don't understand that "[-+=])" as a case label
means to test for -, but rather try to do something stupid with the -
(probably ranges), so I also changed that.
