To be more precise, Cygwin doesn't support ACL APIs for files beyond what
Windows provides (and those are really outside of Cygwin).  Cygwin
obviously has to be aware of ACLs to construct them for the POSIX
permission mapping.

I probably should've said: Cygwin doesn't "think" in terms of ACLs, but in
terms of POSIX permissions...

Corinna, am I digging myself deeper into the hole here? :-)
