Actually, emacs groks POSIX paths. The Cygwin emacs
that I launch from the cmd line and the nt-emacs that
I launch from the desktop use the same .emacs. The
former works, the latter doesn't.

Interesting results from getfacl.
For the production (InstallShield installed) java
%getfacl `which java`:
# file: /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/java
# owner: Administrators
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:Users:r-x
group:Power Users:rwx
mask:rwx
other:r-x
For the internal (unzipped) java
%getfacl `which java`:
# file: /usr/local/java/bin/java
# owner: Administrators
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
Is there away to add ACLs for those additional groups
from zsh or bash?
