There's no "execute permission" on Windows, on the level on which
`chmod' operates. Programs that want to see Posix-style mode bits,
such as Emacs, invent that bit when they see a directory or an
executable program/script.
(NTFS-style file security does have attributes for directory traversal
and for program execution permissions, but Emacs does not yet support
those, and neither do most ports of `chmod'.)
