Never had to chmod -x setup in my download, check, launch script
until now - it used to just check it was -x and complain if not,
which it did this time, pre-fix!
Did not require that on my last (wget -N) download of the current
setup release, but now does.
Consistent across directories, Cygwin, and Windows DACLs.
Could be Windows, Cygwin, or wget change - not worried about cause.
