Have you heard of the *?  This will save you a little time, the * is a wildcard that causes the command to be performed on all files in the directory...

chmod 0755 *

You could even setup a cron job to do this for you, with a PHP interface to make it accessible to your customers. But no need, because a fix has been posted...

I understand your point, tho, and Jeff L.'s who said the patch should not have been released that way.
