I noticed this problem when mirroring off Unix site - if file is read-only,
time cannot be set. This of course confuses mirror a bit (why I had to mirror
under Cygwin is another sad story :-)

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% chmod u+w ld-linux.so.2
mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% touch ld-linux.so.2

This is somewhat unexpected and does not correspond to Unix. Is it possible to
change it or is it Windows restriction?

System is WIn2kSP1, cygwin-1.3.1

TIA
