making switch-arch executable

[Programmingkid]

I made a change to the documentation on the page http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS. I added a step in the Building OpenBIOS section to make the switch-arch script executable. I was wondering if it is possible to download OpenBIOS with the script being executable without the user having to change it permissions. This would save some time and frustration.

The permissions are already set up correctly:
$ svn proplist config/scripts/switch-arch
Properties on 'config/scripts/switch-arch':
  svn:executable

So the problem is actually with the program creating the zip, or maybe
the zip format itself misses any executability bits.
