   * Preserve executable permissions on unpack
 }}}

 Will be included in next Cabal-1.10.x release, and next cabal-install-0.10
 release.

 The new behaviour is as follows:

  * every directory has mode 0755
  * files in extra-source-files that have the user executable bit set get
 mode 0755
  * all other files get mode 0644
