hi,

again, I think the problem was caused during the initial creation of 
'./compile' (on Luciano's machine I think), since I don't have permission 
problems when compiling Remon's tarballs at 
http://vt.shuis.tudelft.nl/~remon/protux/CVS/ 
(where ./compile seems to have correct permissions, since he did a 'chhmod +x' 
on it) on another machine!

So, I would suggest just to delete ./compile from cvs repository and do a 
fresh commit afterwards with correct permissions. RFC
