I noticed this change when reviewing libarchive development:

"Windows resets atime at file close, so we can't use futimes() on
Cygwin."
http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=1832

Is that the expected behavior? I thought cygwin-(1.7?) took special care
to go back and "fix up" this problem during close()...
