We have a Solaris compatible implementation of ACLs. Look into /usr/include/cygwin/acl.h (which is called from sys/acl.h). This is e. g. used to implement access(2) and the tools setfacl(3) and getfacl(3). It's an official part of the Cygwin API since two years or so. I thought about implementing POSIX-ACLs once but the POSIX implementation requires a lot of rework and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort since POSIX IEEE Std. 1003.1e has been withdrawn. However, patches gratefully accepted (as long as Solaris compatibility is kept).
