CVSNT will store the execute bit from a Linux commit, but the moment it gets 
modified by a Windows machine it'll lose it again, as Windows has no such 
thing as execute permissions.  If you limit those files to Linux only you can 
get away with it (eg. the configure script in the cvsnt source tree stays 
executable because I never open it in Windows).
