Actually, Guillaume implemented a similar script a long time ago, but I didn't 
integrate it into ERP5. The reason is that security settings are various 
among modules, because the setting of a module depends on how documents under 
the module are managed by workflows.

I don't object to including such a script, if it is so useful, but I'd 
strongly recommend that you consider the consequence of a security setting 
before using that script. Using a default setting of security _without 
thinking_ must be avoided.
