But it is necessary on Windows (Cygwin): chmod(2) with mode set to 0644 will happily take execute permission from an .com, .bat, .cmd, .pl, .exe or .dll file. Which means something different on Windows, but results in unexpectedly (for a Windows user) looking errors. The users there do not expect seeing an .exe-file but be not able to run it.
