[issue10888] os.stat(filepath).st_mode gives wrong 'executable permission' result

>From reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899147 it does look like the .dll extension needs to have the "Read & Execute" permission in order to have code from the .dll be executed. It's odd that there isn't documentation that's easily searchable to confirm this.

Also what about scripts, .vbs, .ps1 etc. Should those be considered executables as well?
