Shell scripts on FAT volumes

[Thorsten Kampe]

[Cygwin latest snapshot]

I just noticed (on two different Windows XP) Cygwin installation that 
Shebang shell scripts are not executable on FAT32 volumes (like usb 
drives). The mount man page says "Normally, files ending in certain 
extensions (.exe, .com,  .bat,  .cmd) are  assumed  to be executable.  
Files whose first two characters begin with  '#!' are also considered 
to be executable."

Is that expected behaviour?
