UNZIP: Why don't .exe/.dll files get eXecute privs?

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Something has been bugging me about Cygwin UNZIP for years.  When I
unzip a file, the extracted .exe and .dll files no longer have execute
privs. I have to manually chmod +x them.  This always occurs when I'm
in a DOS prompt and using the Cygwin unzip.

The same unzip from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net doesn't have this problem.

Why is Cygwin different?

Thanks - Jim
