You are right, this is what I am going to do. <chmod *.sh> solved my
problems with shell scripts and I can use a perl script to preserve
executable flag for a few native programs. Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Since it seems you only need to determine if the executable bit needs to
be preserved, maybe you could write a Perl script that given a source
directory, a list of files in that directory and a target directory will
find all the executable files and chmod the corresponding target file.
You could then call that script from <apply> after your <copy> where
preserving execute permissions is required.
Another option is to write a <cp> task that supports some subset of the
<copy> task but runs the cp command to perform the copies.
