The `conf.sh' script in rcs-5.7 can't work properly with
ash-20000627 or later.

This script requires /bin/sh to execute files named a.out
generated by `gcc -o a.out ...'.  These files has no execute
permission on the Cygwin environment without ntsec and ntea.
The above ash can't execute such files differently from older
versions.

IMHO, sh should execute any files regardless of their permission
and put the results into the hands of the kernel (Cygwin DLL)
from the point of view of emulating UNIX.
