Here's a function I plan to use:

wtouch()
{
  local file=$1
  CYGWIN=nontsec touch "$file"
  setacl -on "$(cygpath -aw "$file")" -ot file \
    -actn setowner -ownr "n:Administrators;s:n" \
    -actn setgroup -grp  "n:None;s:n" \
    -silent || echo $FUNCNAME:setacl failed
    # see http://setacl.sourceforge.net/html/doc-reference.html 
}

I'm usually an admin, hence the setacl.  The advantage of
setacl over chown is that the setacl above has no impact on the
DACL.

Example:
  $ wtouch foo
  $ cat /tmp/mycontents > foo  # leaves owner,group and DACL untouched [I think]
