Cygwin is installed as part of a proposed deployment solution that's competing with MSI (*shudder*), so it's indeed a Cygwin problem. The current archiver on the Unix (Solaris) side happens to be tar, but anything that could be packed under Solaris and unpacked with a Cygwin command line in such a way to preserve Windows ACLs is what is needed to help slay the MSI dragon.
