I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention an important part:  Recomputing the
mask is *not* done in the kernel or, in our case, Cygwin.  Rather this
functionality is part of the setfacl tool.  Setfacl recomputes the mask
by default.  There's a new option -n/--no-mask as on Linux to retain the
current mask setting, e.g.

  $ setfacl -n -m g:wheel:r-x file

Try setfacl --help for a comprehensive description of all options.


HTH,
Corinna
