install must have been usable, at least! Maybe the permissions were "good
enough"...
Well, `sage-spkg` always makes `spkg-install` executable before running
it, so that's a minor issue. The other permission issues could have only
caused some trouble in a multi-user environment, i.e., if the user wasn't
the owner of files.

Cygwin was able to use it after all? (Or maybe it just never worked and
no one noticed!)
The spkg was said to ''build'', not Tachyon to work... ;-)
(The installation of the executable might have actually failed without
anybody noticing that, because the exit code of `cp` wasn't checked and,
worse, an unconditional `exit 0` followed. The p5 spkg should still be
checked on Cygwin w.r.t. this.)
