 The problem is that if you go download an official release source
 tarball, you'll find all the random scripts in the tree have lost
 their +x permissions. Then random stuff breaks.
 
 This was still true not more than a week or two ago. If it's been
 straightened out in the meantime, I'll be glad to hear it.
 
 (but if so there's still a valid doc issue in here)
