Comment (by embray):

 I guess on *nix it still has to mark those scripts as executable in order
 for them to work with `exec`, even though they are not strictly executable
 on their own.  Without a shebang line the shell will still try to execute
 them in the current shell process so I guess I rescind my complaint about
 them being marked executable.

 Nevertheless the `test -x` used before executing them won't work sometimes
 on Cygwin :/
