It was the only thing installed in bin that missed the x permission.
The install is, I think, a home-brewn script. It says:
Usage: install [-c] [-s] [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] src dst
Or: install [-o own] [-g grp] [-m mode] -d dir
option c : copy (obsolete)
option s : try to strip dst
option o : (possibly numeric) owner ident
option g : (possibly numeric) group ident
option m : mode (in octal eg 755 )
src : must be readable file
dst : file or directory
The Makefile in xdvik doesn't give any mode parameters, so how should the
install script know that it should add the x permission?
$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $(srcdir)/xdvizilla $(scriptdir)/xdvizilla
$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) = install -c.
