Indeed they will.  I have been giving the Make system a serious overhaul
to do things the GNU way (automake/autoconf/aclocal) and these issues 
(esp. the executable bits) have been corrected in the new makefiles.  I

probably won't happen until next week.  Thanks for catching these and 
keeping us honest, though. :-)  

Cheers,
