Before I report a bug, is there a reason why the distutils build command doesn't give the scripts that it copies into the build/scripts* directory execute permission?

I don't think that this was done on purpose, but I see no need to change that, either. Typically, the scripts won't work until the package is installed, anyway (as they import stuff that is not available in the standard locations yet).
