If they're run like "$(PYTHON) $(top_srcdir)/tools/glib-ginterface-gen.py" by
the Makefile.am, then it doesn't matter what the shebang says, and they needn't
be executable (although it's useful to have the shebang and +x as documentation
that the file is intended to be run directly, and as a hint to
syntax-highlighting text editors).

If they're run like "$(top_srcdir)/tools/glib-ginterface-gen.py" by the
Makefile.am, then that's a bug.
