Hi,

INSTALL_SCRIPT does not set the protections of files to be installed
with it, i.e. in Makefiles it typically expands into
INSTALL_SCRIPT = ${INSTALL}

INSTALL_DATA however sets the the protections of files to be installed,
INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644

Is this behavior intentional? At least to me, this behavior seems
inconsistent (I don't understand why automake wants to set permissions
on _DATA and not on _SCRIPTS.)

Background: I am using bin_SCRIPTS to install some script generated
scripts. Inside of the build directory, the generated scripts do not
have their executable file permissions set.
