I have noticed that Windows XP SP2 decides if a filesystem is trusted 
or not.  If the filesystem is not trusted, then it seems that the 
execute bits are removed.

This has been a problem for me under Cygwin since I typically access 
source code via SMB to a Unix system.  Oddly, MSYS does not experience 
this problem.
