Well, it might also be that quilt just re-generates the patch with
'diff', and then in the process loses the information again.

We can happily continue to support the "we lost the executable bit",
since it sounds like Nathan is willing to cook up a patch.

I'm just too lazy and personally unaffected to care (and too busy with
merges - excuses, excuses).
