Files getting 'x' permission installing packages in Cygwin


Just a curiosity.

Is it 'normal' that, when one installs packages, files, like *.a, *.h,
*.README etc. (i.e. files that normally are not executables), acquires the
'x' permission ?

In the tar ball of the corresponding packages they do not have 'x'!

Could this have to do with 'setup.exe' (I am using 2.558 snapshot) ?


Thanks,

    Angelo.
