He man that directory security settings are not inherited, when files are
created by Cygwin. Which is explained by a POSIX-adherent behavior of Cygwin.
@Sebastien, if you want Windows behavior (i.e. defer ACL management to OS),
change cygdrive mount flags to noacl.

There's no need. Cygwin automatically detect executables from file contents.
