Do ACLs work for NFS in Cygwin, or are they turned off for NFS?

I recall the Exceed (now OpenText) docs say that Exceed NFSv4 for
Windows supports ACLs, but they are defunct for Cygwin2. Is this true?

I'm also asking because the ms-nfs41-client Windows NFSv4.1 driver now
has ACL support (like the Exceed NFSv4 driver), but it would be
frustrating if Cygwin just turns this off.
Or maybe I am misinterpreting this... @Corinna Vinschen?
