make dist should preserve whatever permissions are there in your sources. Your version control software should be able to preserve permissions, too. For instance, for svn, you can set the svn:execute property. When installing, $INSTALL will automatically set the permissions accordingly for the SCRIPTS primary. Here's a better question. How do you insure that your current file is executable? Do it the same way.
