I agree about the executable bits. That's fairly annoying when 
installing manually. You'd think that just replacing the old folder 
with the new one would be enough, but no: you have to go change 
permissions all over the place.

Zip files can store the executable bit too, you just have to use the 
right tool to create the archive. If I create a zip file using the 
'zip' command on Mac OS X, the executable bit is preserved when I later 
use 'unzip'. It's probably the same on Linux.
