Description
Trying to open the birdfont application fails with:
$ open /Applications/MacPorts/BirdFont.app LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/MacPorts/BirdFont.app.
This is because /Applications/MacPorts/BirdFont.app/Contents/MacOS/birdfont.sh does not have the execute bit set.
There is a bug in the install script, which runs:
subprocess.check_call ('cp -r build/BirdFont.app ' + dest + '/Applications/', shell=True)
First, the use of the cp "-r" option is "strongly discouraged" according to the manpage. Use "-R" instead. Also, use "-p" to preserve permissions. (Don't use "-a", which combines -R and -P and -p, because although that's what you want, it doesn't exist on Tiger.) But this is not the cause of the problem in our case because in the MacPorts portfile we don't use that; we use a post-destroot block to copy the app manually. So the wrong permissions are already happening on that file during the build phase.

Thank you. A new fix is available upstream.
Quick fix in r103514 but a better upstream fix should be made.
