Apparently there is a getfperm() function, but no setfperm() so all I
can think of is

if has('autocmd')
au BufNewFile *.sh
\ if has('unix')
\ | w
\ | exe '!chmod a+x %'
\ | endif
endif

The ":w" command makes sure that the file exists before we try to set
its permissions.

This is not perfect: Vim will probably complain that the file was
modified outside of Vim (when we changed its permissions by means of an
external command). See
:help FileChangedShell
:help v:fcs_reason

Best regards,
Tony.
