Thanks for this contribution but I'm afraid I don't really agree with
the need for this change.  It is simpler in our build system (which is
quite complicated enough already) just to execute these kind of
scripts directly.

If the arrangements you use for producing a source tree don't always
put the +x permissions back correctly, then I think that's something
that shouldn't be too hard to fix.  There should be no problem with
setting +x on files that don't need it (and if there is, we can
probably fix that) so you don't have to be 100% discriminating in that
fixup.

Ian.
