GNU tar only lets you set mode bits on every entry, so you'd end up with all 
regular files having the executable bit set which obviously you're trying to 
avoid.

Perhaps you want to try using the tar from Mingw. Cygwin does strange things 
with mode bits unless the files are only ever written by Cygwin. Mingw tries 
to normalize all files to 0644 and directories to 0755.
