If users remove directory DACLs, they should never try to use any non-Cygwin
programs to create or use files in those directories: without DACLs, files
created by non-Cygwin programs will have no access permissions, and can not be
accessed by any programs without elevated admin rights.

To support the interoperability offered by Cygwin, most users should ensure that
Cygwin directory DACLs match the default umask, so that all programs can create,
use, and change files in those directories.
