The problem is that copy_templates_1 does an lstat on the files in
templates directory and gets 0666 mode (regular file, non-exec) for
executable file under current Cygwin port. The st_mode of that lstat
is passed to copy_file mentioned, which is useless now as we use the
Win32 version of lstat, which doesn't do x-bit.

access(..., X_OK) will return -1.
