Permission problems in tarball

The latest tarball has problematic permissions, which in most cases (¹) prevents installation of the module. With CPAN.pm: ... CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.068) Checksum for /home/cpansand/.cpan/sources/authors/id/I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/UI-KeyboardLayout-0.72b.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v2.04) UI-KeyboardLayout-0.72/ UI-KeyboardLayout-0.72/Changes UI-KeyboardLayout-0.72/diff-trade-combining-for-math ...

Looking at the tarball it seems that the directories should have the w bit, at least for the user. (¹) Maybe it could work if Archive::Tar or so is used for extraction --- at least that could be the explanation why there are a few reports at CPAN Testers: http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=UI-KeyboardLayout%200.72b

Dear Slaven, A lot of thanks for persistently helping me with this issues! This is completely my fault, and I’m really sorry that I’m continuing forcing this issue on your shoulders! Background: this is a bug in a really old version of CygWin. It is fixed already, and in fact, I have the newer version in an almost-deployed state for several years already — however, I cannot find time to run final tests in real-life environment so that I may — at last — switch to this newer version. Meanwhile, I released v0.73 of this module in ZIP format. (In my PATH, ZIP comes from a non-cygwin distribution.) Yours, Ilya
